Day 20 July 6
I am losing track of the days! Today we got off the ferry at North Sydney, Nova Scotia at 7 A.M. and still drove 400 miles. Left Newfoundland, drove through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and ended at Prince Edward Island.
The weather was cool and very foggy for about 30 miles from the ferry dock, but after that it warmed up and turned sunny. We stopped at an information center at Port Hawkesberry and found that the Bay of Fundy tide was coming in at a good time for us. If we kept going, we could see the low tide and the increase. The Bay of Fundy has the most dramatic and highest tides in the world.
I had learned earlier that a couple of companies offer a zodiac trip where you can ride the tidal bore! We got there in time and I went. It was a blast! Note the boots (great fashion statement in the mud). There's a great video on you tube if you search for "ride the tidal bore bay of fundy."
From there we drove to Prince Edward Island and got a motel in Summerside. Beautiful town, and it happens to be their Lobster Carnival!


The Confederation Bridge is over nine miles long. There is no charge to go to PEI, but it costs $17.75 for a motorcycle to get off the island.
