VISITING THE MARITIMES

This is our first visit to New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.  It is also the first time we got a complete search of our motor home at the Canadian border. They made us open up our slides and went through every storage bay, cabinet and drawer looking for God knows what.  Forty-five minutes later we were released and visited Fredericton.  Fredericton is New Brunswick's Capital City and has many lovely historical buildings.  We spent a few hours there, had a very tasty Korean gluten-free lunch before driving a couple of hours to a lovely campground called Crystal Beach on PEI.  We were greeted by huge man-eating insects and a gorgeous sunset.

Thanks for stopping in to say hi.  We woke to cloudy skies but the sun is starting to peek out and we need to discover the wonders of Prince Edward Island.

  1. There was issues a couple months ago when some Americans were searched and caught attempting to take their fire arms across the border, undeclared. So probably a reason you were thoroughly searched.
    Enjoy PEI,NB and Nova Scotia, I have toured there about 7 times and love it so much to see.
