Wed. Oct 9  Our Last Day in Canada

What a way to end our road trip!!  At a lovely B&B, in a picturesque seaside town, with an afternoon siesta on the lawn of a beautiful park overlooking  the Bay of Fundy under a perfect sunny sky!  We started our day with a delicious breakfast in the dining room at Kingswood B&B in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. We met a Canadian couple who were also staying at Kingswood and we had lots of interesting conversation. 

After breakfast Francine and I walked to Minister's Point across a dirt causeway that is inaccessible at high tide. We hiked up to the "cottage" which was built by the man who started the Canadian Pacific Railway near the turn of the century. It's a 50 room lodge-like summer retreat built on a hill overlooking the Bay of Fundy. The place is now a historic site and needs some TLC but the location is magnificent. We met the men on our way back, took a short hike through the woods and retrieved the car to drive back over the causeway. 

A tour of the town included the Algonquin Golf Club, a walk around the quaint town, a coffee and some photo ops. We got some apples and almonds at a supermarket and drove through the rest of the village to a park at the tip of the peninsula where we snacked, dozed and just enjoyed the day. Interesting real estate here....some very modest houses, some historic homes and some mansions. 

We returned to the B&B for some cards and a drink before dinner. At 6:15 we left to see the sunset over the coast of Maine at Niger Reef Restaurant.  It had been a beautiful, sunny, warm day but with the sun setting there was an chill in the air. The restaurant was small and intimate, a log cabin. The food was particularly good and well prepared. Sirloin, shrimp and lobster casserole, salmon, strawberry and apple crisp and carrot cake. We paid in US and Canadian dollars so we'd use up the last of our Canadian money. Our last game of cards ended quickly with Peter and Bill winning yet AGAIN!!
