Still in Canada

We have now moved to Quebec City, Quebec but let me get you caught up with our past week.

We left Prince Edward Island and drove over to Truro, Nova Scotia.  In our trip planning I put this stop in to say we had stopped in Nova Scotia, since it was so close, and to check out the tidal bore at Truro.  Since Truro is at the end of the Bay of Fundy it is supposed to have a big tidal shift that was worth seeing.  WRONG.  Not sure if it is because of the time of year but you could barely notice the “wave” coming in the bay in Truro.  The water level did increase at a rapid speed, but nothing like what I had read.  The area was nice and Truro has nice park, Victoria Park, that we hiked in.  Here are some pictures from the park.

The trail wound all around the park, with many stairs and elevated walkways.

From talking with other travellers it appears the place to visit in Nova Scotia is more north, the towns of Sydney and Baddeck.  This is the Cape Breton area which has the Cabot Trail.  From there you can take a ferry and visit New Foundland.  Should we make it back to this area I think we will focus our attention on that area.

We spent just a few days in Truro and then started west towards Quebec City and Montreal.  In planning this leg of the trip the halfway point was a little town called Woodstock in New Brunswick.  There were a couple of RV parks in the town, one being a Jellystone Park, which we generally avoid (geared towards families and kids).  The other was a small campground that was part of a small motel.  What a find.  Most of the spaces were very near the river and had fantastic views.  Other than fast internet the park really had no amenities but the view was just great. 

This was our view from our patio.

We spent the weekend in Woodstock and left yesterday for Quebec City.
