Day 5: 15.07.09
Life can’t get much better than this. We awoke this morning to a beautiful summer’s day in the Maritimes. After we got ourselves organised, we headed off for a day in the Fundy National Park. Our first tour was a visit to heron Cove where we were taken on a walk with a park ranger who enthusiastically explained the workings of the tidal zones within the bay. We were also given information on the variety of species which manage to survive within this fluctuating region. The boys enjoyed coating themselves with mud as they collected intertidal specimens.
It was an interesting experience made more so by meeting two other groups of Australians who had also joined this tour. One couple, from Sydney were good friends with our friends, the Artymkos.
After marvelling the merits of a small world, we concluded our tour and took the boys to a saltwater swimming pool. In the afternoon, we took a drive to Wolfe Point and explored the scenic trail which led to the beach. Dinner tonight was seafood and more seafood. We enjoyed a New Brunswick Lobster followed by scallops and shrimp. Despite the cool nights our van is quite comfortable with the added luxuries of a furnace and electric blankets! Hardly like camping at all!
