Bouctouche to Shediac
After our full continental breakfast we were on the road by 8:20. The sun shone while we meandered our way along the Atlantic Shoreline. The ride was leisurely and flat and actually scenic, unlike the last 2 days. We had great views of the ocean and lots of 'big' houses to look at. Over the last few days we have also crossed 'numerous' bridges of many styles. Today's ride took us over a wooden structure with a wooden deck covered by asphalt (and in really bad shape). We were wondering how old some of these structures actually are?
As we rode along we came to the town of Shediac, a bustling town with 'way too many tourists' and thus 'way too many cars'! Our intended destination was Parlee Beach Provincial Park, but due to New Brunswick's 'lack' of road signage, we somehow missed it and were forced into 'Plan B'. Plan B is a 'private campground', Ocean View, located 'on the ocean' and I mean 'on the ocean'! Our tents are set up only a few metres from the water. (Well a little further now since the tide is going out)! We are hoping that the weather forecast for tonight is not accurate.
