We drove from Quebec City to Fredericton on 7th September, following the route John cycled. There we stayed for two nights with Angela, one of John's new cycling friends. We had a lovely time with Angela. Went out for dinner with a couple of her friends, and on the Sunday we went to the local art gallery. It did rain on the Sunday morning for a while.
On Monday 9th we drove to Halifax in Nova Scotia. It was a long day of driving on 4 lane highway. In Halifax we stayed with Karen, a friend from our previous cycling trips. On 10th we drove into the centre of Halifax, and spent a few hours walking around the Citadel. This was built as a fortress mid 1700s to protect Halifax. Fortunately Halifax has never been attacked!
Yesterday (11th) we drove to Saint John in New Brunswick. It was very misty much of the way, so we did not get to see the beautiful coastline around the Bay of Fundy.
Today we drove to Portland in Maine, USA. It was 475 kilometres. The day started out fine, but ended with driving (Liz) through a thunderstorm in heavy rain for the last 200 ks. We were on the main highway, which had woods along both sides of the highway.
Our trip was through the towns and cities of St Stephens, St Andrews, St George and St David.
No sooner had we arrived at our hotel there was another almighty thunder and lightening episode, with extremely heavy rain.
We are staying here for two nights, then travelling to Boston. Tomorrow we will visit the Art Gallery and other attractions here.
John and friends in Saint John
