This was our big roadtrip day, we had to drive 6 hours to get to our next destination, Fredricton. When we finally arrived we quickly got some food and I dropped Berwout off at a nearby game store so he could join the Friday Night Magic event. I went back to our AirBnb and did some research about things to do in the area. At 11 pm I picked Berwout up again and we went to bed.
Saturday May 21st
In the morning we drove to the Reversing Falls in Saint John. The Reversing Falls is a place in the river where the direction of the water changes during high and low tides. This creates whirlpools and rapid tides. After walking around for a bit we headed to Irving National Park where we hiked through the park for about 3 hours. This national park is a sort of island and we hiked along the entire coast of the island, so we saw some nice beaches and rock formations.
Around 5 pm we headed back to Fredricton because we scheduled horseback riding there at 6 pm. We arrived on time and got saddles in our horses. The ride was only for an hour and sadly it was the same trail we rode on the first and last half hour, we just turned around on the half way mark. The guide also wasn't very talk-active, so I thought it was a very disappointing ride. After the ride we drove to Moncton to be closer to our next attractions!
Sunday May 22nd
Early in the morning we headed to Hopewell Rocks which are beautiful rock formations you can see when it's low-tide. The low-tide also allows you to walk on the bottom on the ocean and walk through the rock formations. We walked around for about an hour until the high-tide came in.
After that we went to get some lunch in a little fisher town called Alma. They had fresh fish and I had a yummy lobster sandwich. After lunch we went back to the Hopewell Rocks to see the rocks when it's completely high-tide. The bottom of the ocean was completely underwater and the rocks as well.
In the evening we headed to our AirBnb in Southampton which was a hobby farm with alpacas and chickens. After getting dinner we had some nice conversations with our host Art and talked until midnight. It was a very cozy home and a comfy bed.

Joggins Fossil Centre, 4,5 hour drive, dinner with host, watch GoT
In the morning Art made us frittata for breakfast, which was very good! After breakfast we got to see his alpacas and other animals. They just go a baby alpaca 5 days before we arrived so we were lucky to see the baby as well!
At noon we left for the Joggins Fossil Center, this is a historic site where many fossils have been found. We got a private tour along the beach and he pointed out some fossils in the rocks and told us what they were.
After the fossil search we headed to our next AirBnb which was 4,5 hours away up north in Quebec. We arrived around 6 and the host was kind enough to invite us for dinner. We had a lovely dinner and decided to watch Game of Thrones together with the host. It was a nice evening and we headed to bed early.

Getting up early to return our rental car and catch the plane to Calgary! It was about 6 hours of travel and we arrived at our AirBnb around 10 pm. This is with the two hour time difference. The rental car we got this time is a Toyota Camry.
