New Brunswick part one

Sorry it took me so long to post our Quebec travels.  I have had it done for a while but we have been staying in National parks in New Brunswick and there is no Internet there.  We have just spent 5 days in New Brunswick .  The first few days was on the Acadian coast .  New Brunswick is not as scenic as Gaspe, but still beautiful in it's own way.  The first thing we visited was an Acadian historic village that was very well done.  We got a very good lesson on the Acadian history.  They, like many other groups in history, were not treated well by the French or the British.  We keep making the same choices  and mistakes.  When will we learn how to treat each other properly?  From there we moved on to Kochibouguac National Park. We had a nice campsite there.  They had miles of bike trails there and every thing was far away so you needed a bike. For example the beach was 2 km's from the campground.   We rode to the beach the first day and I went in the water.  They claim it is the warmest water in the Atlantic until you get to Virginia.  It was cool but refreshing.   The next day we were planning a long bike ride, and then a swim but my bike had a flat tire when we woke up.  Gerry went for a bike ride and I stayed at the campsite and got my quilting organized, read and relaxed.  The bugs have been bad so we set up our mosquito tent which was nice and shady.  When Gerry got back we fixed my flat and went for a short ride, that included the beach.  However  it was a bit cooler this day and I only got wet to my knees.  By dinner time my tire was going flat again.  Time to buy a new inner tube. Everyone recommended we head to Shediac, which was just 127 km down the road.  It is known for it's beaches and warm water.  But Gerry does not like the water and while I am swimming he is sitting in the sand in his blue jeans, socks and shoes and long sleeve shirt, looking for shade. (There  are no trees on the beach).  Don't think he really enjoys it much.  We didn't want to push on to PEI as it was Friday and we feared it would be busy so we headed inland to Moncton.  Did the Magnetic hill and then headed for Fundy NAtional Park and the Bay of Fundy.  We had fun at the Magnetic hill. I'm sure the workers were shaking their heads at us.  We  did the hill 4 times! Once just to do it, twice as I tried to video Gerry coming backwards up the hill and then once as Gerry taped me driving!  (Clearly I don't know how to work the camera!). We made reservations for 2 nights at the National park while driving down the road. ( I love my smartphone. ) We selected an unserviced site as they are more private and in the shade. When we got there the campsite was fairly quiet but by Saturday morning the campground exploded! Anyway there was so much to see and do.  We did a 10 km bike ride ( I got my tired fixed properly) and several small hikes over the 2 days. The weather was fantastic! We left there and contined on the Bay of Fundy trail.  We saw a lighthouse and the Hopewell rocks.  Those are very interesting. At low tide the rocks look like giant flowerpots.  We walked for 2 hours on the beach.  We continued along the south shore of New Brunswick and planned to spend one more night in NB before heading to PEI, but I could not find any campsites listed so we pushed on to PEI.  We arrived at about 6 pm Sunday night and there was a KOA campground right off the bridge.  When we got there they said that there would be a gospel singing at 7:30. I was excited, Gerry less so.  Anyway I started the laundry and then went off to the gospel meeting and Gerry finished the laundry.  Works for me!  I love coming into a new province .  The staff at the Welcome centres are usually very well informed and excited and they get me all excited with everything there is to see and do and PEI is no different.  But that will be for another blog.
