Sept 5 Fare thee well to Nova Scotia, Hello New Brunswick

So today was more of a leisurely day  slept in a bit, had a lovely breakfast chatted with some people from BC and from England.  Chatted with our host about her quilts She didn't make them but they were hand made on the east coast beautiful work. We then hoped in the car and headed to Hopewell Cape in New Brunswick with their famous flower pot rocks.  The drive was pretty uneventful,  which was good,  we arrived in Shepody in the early afternoon and got checked into the Shepoday Inn, nice little place and wonderful people running it.  I even had time for a quick game of eye spy with the owners grandson, cute sociable little fellow with eye lashes most women would pay good money for lol.

our Inn for the night

 W2 had kinda checked out the zip lining  and so E and I were suppose to try this out at Cape Enrage.....you'd think the title would have been a clue.  We couldn't get in till tomorrow but it was on the way to Alma where we were headed to do a little shopping and have supper so we figured we'd check it out.  I turned off the main highway and followed the signs,  the first was bad enough with lots of hills and curves and trees surrounding so you couldn't tell what was around the next corner....oh yea the moose signs, good grief that's a lot to think about while driving.  The closer we got the steeper the hills and more curves,  the power lines kept getting closer to the road edge too.....no place to put them farther out ??   So were driving along and W2 and I are getting more and more nervous which started the giggles.  We came around one corner and there was the ocean and it looked like we would drive right into it, which was bad enough but the road went way up on this bloody curvy road (I learned about white knuckling it while trying not to throw up) up up up we climbed and finally got to the top.  There was gale force winds blowing and these not so sturdy looking (I'm sure they were fine to other people but to middle age panic stricken women...not so much) stairs to the top of the zip which went over the cliff edge to another spot with the water  and rocks below.....NOPE not happening,  the lady at the gate was good didn't bat an eye when we said we changed our minds.  E was very disappointed but W2 and I were never so relieved to leave a place, I think we were on the verge of hysteria,  we were laughing so hard I had tears running down my face....maybe not the best thing when driving down a scary road to freedom.  We got back on the main highway and headed to Alma which had a pretty good gift shop where I was able to buy a few things then W2 and E made a quick stop at the bakery next door for cinnamon buns for later, then across the street for supper at the Boathouse, fish and chips and a Keith's to calm our nerves after that harrowing experience.  The staff there were awesome,  very friendly and helpful in our supper decisions.  We then headed back to go check out the Hopewell rocks at high tide.  long walk to see them but it was well worth it,  looking forward to  tomorrow when its low tide.  I noticed we were getting low on gas so a 15-20 minute trip down the road we finally found a service station, then back to the Inn and to bed.  Tonight's bed was the cutest sofa bed, single bed size.  nite nite
