Our Overnight in
Moncton Walmart turned out to be pretty noisy.
In overnighting at Wally you always get what you pay for! For one night it is okay but generally I try
to avoid. Most of the noise didn’t bother me but hubby heard the trucker pull
in right next to us and make noise doing something. I noticed the construction area behind
us…someone throwing pipes into another truck…9 pm.
Seen in Monction Walmart parking lot: suv type vehicle with
a uhaul small trailer and set up next to this was a….ready for this….dome
tent! YES, true wally camping stretching
those boundaries.
I would have stayed in the Nova Scotia Welcome
Center (maybe an hour away) had I known it was so spacious. Also, these Walmarts are not superWallys so
my impression of Walmart Canada is pretty low…not at all impressed. The first destination in our rv today is
Joggins Fossil Cliffs for an exploration.
We got there with little time before tide was up so we couldn’t take
much of a walk. Looked through the
museum and didn’t really want to wait for low tide…more driving to do today. I should have considered that there was no
real beach until the tide is out but I wouldn’t have known that before I came
to Canada.

Our drive took us
west of Joggins and down through Apple River, Advocate, Parrsboro. This was a pretty hilly drive…should have
looked at a topo. So it was slow going
but a nice drive through pine and birch forests. We came to this bridge and we both looked at
each other…no weight limit listed…will we be okay…and off David drives!!!! While we were going over it, I noticed that
some of the wood was less than desirable.
There was one more of these bridges on our way but the second one was in
better shape.

We
decided to spend the night At Five
Islands Ocean Resort and
call it a day. The tide was going out so
we took a walk on the beach. I think
there is only two other campers here…seasonals set up but not here. $37 Canadian…more than I wanted to spend but
we needed to dump and refill with water anyway as we didn’t leave home full of
fresh water and there was already some grey water in tank
