One very early saturday morning (2:30 am) Daniela (still asleep), Mayte and I left a quiet Montreal for Saint John, New Brunswick. There we wanted to go see the whales of the bay of Fundy and visit the Fundy National Park. Our goal was to get as far as possible before Dany woke up. It has been proven rather difficult to keep a child quiet in a car for longer than 5 hours. With this in mind, Mayte drove the first 2 hours and I took over and drove, and drove, until 7:30 am when we stopped for gas half way to Saint John, just before Edmunston, and Dany woke up.
We had a small snack at the gas station but ended up having a full breakfast at a diner in Edmunston. This was a nice break from the long drive which recharged our batteries. Driving at daylight was less tense and more enjoyable. The rest of the trip was through the beautiful New Brunswick region. Ahh, speed limit was 110 km/h !!! Arrival time in Saint John was 1:30 pm, 11 hours after departing from Montreal. A merely 956 km road trip.
