It is only about a 3 hour trip directly from Antigonish to Moncton but we turned that into 6 hours. We took the coastal route by heading to Cape George then along the coast to Pictou. We continued toward Tatamagouche eventually returning to highway travel to Amherst via Oxford. Ok, get out your Nova Scotia map and chart that trip. Finally to our Moncton hotel where it turns out we had earned a free night. The receptionist upgraded that to a small suite as an anniversary gift..
The trip was really nice, through rural communities and small towns. Sometimes we were right on the coast. I had intended to get a photo of something we found a bit mysterious but by the time I thought of that I had no opportunity. The mystery is why there are reasonably large fishing boats dry docked in back yards. I’m guessing it has to do with some forced change in occupation.
Another short day tomorrow. Let’s see what we can conjure.

Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.
That’s the way to fulfill your travel – take the coastal route – awesome views as shown in your photos – lovely Anniversary photo, as well…….Congratulations!
