Bye to Quebec, Hello to New Brunswick

Today is a driving day. It is overcast with light rain. When I start out there is a mist coming off the mountains. Just adds to the appeal of the area for me. I’m heading to New Brunswick and I am staying at an Air BnB for the next few days a few kilometers outside of Bathurst. This place is amazing! This is why I stay at Air BnB places. The last place was a motel and not very good. I got it off Booking.com and the pictures they showed on line were for the ‘new’ section of the motel. Apparently, it was full and I got the room in the ‘old’ section which hasn’t been renovated since the last millennium! However, this place is WOW. I have a two-bedroom house in the country side, with a wraparound deck. This place has a really nice kitchen (yes there is a dishwasher), nice bathroom with a washer and dryer, nice sitting areas and a huge bedroom with a cedar lined closet. All for less money than the motel.

The drive is good but long. You have to travel along the coast of Gaspe to get to New Brunswick. The scenery is beautiful so the drive doesn’t take to long. I hit the grocery store in Bathurst first and pickup some food and head to my new place for the next few days. I throw in some laundry while I eat and settle in for a pleasant evening.Read more
