Beautiful drive down the New Brunswick coast to PEI. I did not retake pictures as it was the exact same as my 2022 trip. See day 19 of my 2022 trip. Some new pics below.
Drove around to a few places but it was pouring rain. Check out days 20 and 21 of the 2022 trip. PEI is awesome.
DAY 18 July 6.
Several beaches and coves along the southern shore. There are beautiful beaches to come as I head down the coast on Wednesday.
This time I went looking for an island (very tiny) that we went to numerous times when we lived in New Brunswick. My parents had friends that owned it but back then you could only drive onto it when the tide was out. They have since filled in a road. There were fun times here.
This was a lovely day around the Gaspe peninsula. On the north side the beaches were quite rocky. On the south side reddish sand. I tried to see Perce rock but just as I drove into that bay, it was socked-in with fog and cloud. Also you couldn't get a place to park within 8 blocks. Tourist madhouse. Managed to get into a restaurant for stuffed crab. Ymmy!!
Mahone Bay. Very cute town. Full of quaint shops. I could live here!
DAY 19 July 7.
DAY 16 July 4.
Rimouski QC to Carelton-sur-Mer QC
Since I arrived in Ontario, and all the way to Nova Scotia, the humidity has been between 85% and 98%. My skin is so much softer than back home. It did take awhile to get used to it though.
I am staying at a Vrbo apartment and just hanging around town for the day. Walk on the waterfront and eat more seafood !!! Then took a short drive around.
I thought I would try camping LOL. The tent was very comfy however it was a good thing I had the rain shelter to sit in as it rained a lot.
Lunenburg NS
This is where the Bluenose moors. I hope to see it here July 16th at 1:00 pm with no rain or thunderstorm LOL
My fav lobster place again this year. Lobster and fries was $14.99 3 years ago. Only went up $2.00.

DAY 14 July 2.
Peggy's Cove. Tourists have fun climbing on the rocks.
Carelton-sur-Mer QC to Summerside PE
Left PEI and into Nova Scotia! Took the scenic route along the water after Halifax. So many bays/coves/inlets. Beautiful drive! I did not do Halifax again as I did it extensively last trip.
DAY 15 July 3.
Oak Island. Still no visitors allowed.
Marie, Linda and Crystal
Lunenburg. Very much a tourist town and hard to get around on their narrow streets. Here and in Mahone Bay, the houses are very colourful.
