Woke up at around 7am - took down my tent and then had breakfast with my friends from Connecticut. The blueberry pie was to die for... thanks again!
Short day to Moncton - only 53.89km - relatively easy ride, therefore I decided to spend more time at the Hopewell Rocks. I have vague recollections of going here as a child - my sister Jennifer filling all of her pockets with rocks - while walking on the ocean floor in a place that touts having the worlds largest tides. Pretty spectacular - but heaps of tourists - yes I realize I too am a tourist, but I suppose I was just a bit annoyed by having so many people in my space (especially considering I'm used to being alone for hours on end).
Lots of mud on the ocean floor - made me laugh when I saw a woman walk right into deep mud and almost fall - she was alright... I don't want to seem like a meanie. The other thing was watching people clean the mud off of their shoes, feet and legs. Too funny... everyone gathering around a washing station when other stations were available slightly further away from the path (thanks Frank for letting me know about that). At a Lobster sandwich (they were out of lobster rolls :( )
Arriving in Moncton I couldn't find a place to sleep at the C'mon Inn Hostel - so they suggested I head to Leah Jane's B & B.... very funny as Ron the owner was also full - but didn't want me to be without a place to sleep - so he arranged his office into a makeshift bedroom (charging me $35.00). Another amazing person.
