Day 19 – Thursday Sept. 19th 2013. – Back to CANADA!

Today was a long day, longer than we expected. We travelled for a good 10 hours and pushed to make it to Moncton, New Brunswick.

Leaving Freeport, Maine we headed north and wondered in the beautiful sights along the way. On the map it looks like a small state but it seemed like a rather long drive.

One of the suspected acorns that attacked our Motorhome sounding like gun-shots!
This guy was towing 2 beautiful Honda Trikes
One for him and one for his wife!

The New England trees are just starting to change colour.

Northbound through Bangor, Maine!

As we approached the border we stopped in at the Duty Free shop and as per usual there wasn’t anything much there to interest us so we headed to the border crossing. 

Stopped at the Duty Free Shop at the Maine Border towards Canada.

Here we go - Back into Canada!
We had to stop there for a bit to pay the GST (tax) on the motorhome tires we had purchased in New Hampshire.

I must say it was a nice drive to Moncton. The highway was beautiful as were the sights. The only negative part is that we are now on such a tight schedule having spent too long getting here. 

After driving by the Bay of Fundy we commented on how that will be a must do on the way back. The Bay of Fundy has the largest tidal change in the world! I can’t remember how many feet difference between low and high tide but it is significant.


We pulled into Moncton about 11pm local time. It’s another hour here on the clock as we switched to Atlantic Time. This is our 4th Time Zone since leaving home!

As per our normal course we found a Wal-Mart to camp in and when we arrived there were six other rigs camped here too! Immediately after grabbing a bite to eat we hit the sheets and fell asleep instantly only to wake up late again at 930 am. We sure do sleep well on the new mattress that we bought last year in Phoenix!
