<\/a>Restigouche River-Quebec to New Brunswick<\/p><\/div>\n
I guess you can say I am officially on the east coast! A few days back I crossed over the Restigouche River, from the province of Quebec into the community of Campbellton, News Brunswick.<\/p>\n
It was a goose-bump moment for me. But this one was different – it was an east coast-ish type goose-bump. Bigger. So much so, I had to take a picture of the bridge for prosperity.<\/p>\n
I spent the last few days getting to know the lay of the land. So far there are many, many small little villages lined up one after the other. Almost every one of those villages enjoys a large beach, a quay and a marina.<\/p>\n
From Campbellton I decided to start my travels exploring New Brunswick by following the acadia Route along the waterfront on the east coast of the province.<\/p>\n
The route would take me through many villages but for my purposes I stop for tourism.\u00a0 So, with tourism in mind,\u00a0 I\u00a0 explored the communities of Campbellton, Dalhousie, Petite Rocher, Bathurst, Grande-Anse and Caraquet.\u00a0 Campbellton and Bathhurst being the largest, I spent most of my time there.<\/p>\n
After my stay in Campbellton I ended up\u00a0 in Bathurst, New Brunswick for a few days. It was the biggest centre in the region, so it was a good bet.<\/p>\n
During my stay the weather Gods were playing tricks with me. One hour it would rain and then the next it would get hot on me. I would be putting layers on, shelding myself with rain gear and then, not 2 hours later,\u00a0 I would be peeling layers off again.\u00a0 And… to make things interesting – every time I took layers off,\u00a0 the mosquitoes smelt blood and transformed into attack mode.\u00a0 Out\u00a0 came the repellent. It became a step by step system for me after repetitiveness.<\/p>\n
My two favorite parks I visited on the same day.\u00a0 Except the day seemed like 2\u00a0 different worlds. In the morning I visited Youghall Beach Park on Nepisiguit Bay under cloudy skies, heavy winds and showers. And then, a few hours later, I was on the other side of Nepisiguit Bay exploring the Pointe Daly Wetland Park under sunny skies, partially cloudy weather. Heck.. I could see Youghall Beach across the harbour.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Youghall Beach<\/p><\/div>\n
Youghall Beach covers the entire peninsula. The wide sandy beach bends around a point and connects to a marina. It is a long sandy beach with far reaching views.\u00a0 On my visit there was a couple walking on the beach holding hands and a lone man fishing from the shore. “No luck,” he said when I asked?\u00a0 And that was it – fish, love and me.\u00a0 No one else in sight.<\/p>\n
I walked the waterfront park, marina\u00a0 and the beach making mental notes.\u00a0 But nothing felt better than my stroll,\u00a0 in the misty rain,\u00a0 lost in my thoughts.<\/p>\n
For us EH\u00a0 Boys the beach is were it is at.\u00a0 The mist from the bay, the instant down pours and the forceful winds.. it makes no difference to me. I walk a snails dance when I am in the zone.<\/p>\n
