Still having problems uploading photos but will continue to try….
So on July 25th, we travelled to Quebec City and set-up at the KOA. We ventured to Old Quebec after supper and toured Chateau Frontenac and part of the boardwalk and climbed up to the Citadel.
The next day, July 26th, we toured more of Old Quebec and found building walls painted with sceneries similar to a fresco. They were absolutely stunning. We walked all over Old Quebec, sightseeing. As this area is quite hilly, we definitely got a good workout….lol. After lunch, we went to the Citadel, did the tour, went through the R22eR museum and headed back to the campground….it was definitely a full day…
We decided that we needed a maintenance day, so this day was spent doing some shopping for groceries, etc and laundry. While Betty was doing the laundry at the campground laundromat, she met up with 2 American ladies, Viva and Kim, who hailed from Anacortes Wa. Viva had bought an Alto travel trailer from an RV dealer just down the road from the campground. She had been searching for a particular type of travel trailer and this one met her requirements. She had bought a while back and now was the time to pick it up. It is a very nice and different trailer. Just Google Alto and check them out. After laundry, supper and a severe thunderstorm with torrential rain, the sun came out, the rainbow was beautiful and a pleasant evening unfolded. We had a look at Viva’s trailer and were amazed at the ingenuity of the trailer. They came over to our trailer for drinks and Betty introduced them to Ceasars, which they thoroughly enjoyed. We reminisced about all of our travels. Between the 4 of us, we were extremely well travelled. We said our good-byes and the next day we headed east.
On July 28th we departed Quebec City for Saint Leonard NB, just an overnighter… We are now in our 6th province.
On July 29th saw us travel to Woolastook Campground in Kingsclear NB. Once checked-in, we went to our campsite only to find that it was occuppied and would be for another two days…..geez… This campground is located at an old provincial campground site and is over 2 km from the office. Steve, a friendly camper who has a seasonal site, stopped by and said that he wasn’t surprised about the double booking so I took the next site and phoned the office and notified them of the change….. After setting up, we went to Fredericton for our usual Walmart and Costco (gas) and went to find the Rusagonis River No. 2 (Patrick Owens) covered bridge. This bridge was built in 1909 and is 236 feet in length. This was the very first covered bridge that Betty and I ever saw so we were impressed. We were enjoying an adult beverage at the campsite when Steve dropped by and invited us to his site for later that evening to enjoy the fire. Betty and I went over later on and met Steve and his wife Gail, and loads of their family and friends.
July 30th saw us go to King’s Landing which is a historical settlement set-up as what life was like in the mid 1800s. Go to kingslanding.nb.ca to read all about this fabulous site. Betty and I were quite amazed at this attraction.
That’s it for now, but our next segment will include the Moncton area that’ll include Magnetic Hill and the winery, Hopewell Rocks, Fundy National park and all points in between.
