Day 7 Kouchibouguac NB to Amherst Nova Scotia



WOW! We woke up to the brightest blue sky we've had so far on this trip. Perfect morning for a beach walk adventure. I'm going to have to stay in the motorhome - while my parents enjoy Kouchibouguac National park. 

This is Kelly's beach - panoramic view. The park is a photographers paradise.

Imagine me, the "squirrel terrorizer", loose on the beach chasing these endangered birds….


Come on let me out.. I promise to be good!

The beach adventure made for a later start for today's drive.  We cruised along the Acadian Coastal route for a while.. small towns with bays and harbours.  Then we picked up Hwy 11 and headed to Shediac NB.

We stopped for lunch and to buy fresh lobster in Shediac. Lunch was delicious and we bought lobster for dinner tonight.

We visited Shediac on our first East Coast motorhome trip three years ago.  It was August and it was crawling with people - so we decided it was too busy. This visit, we took a closer look at the campgrounds.  The Parlee Beach provincial park camping was closed for the season and the other options were not to our taste. So we moved on .. Shediac is not a camping destination for us!


And on to Amherst we went. We stopped and got tourist info and decided to stay at the closest available campground as it was already 5 pm.  We decided to stay at Loch Lomond Campground on a lake with full service and it was perfect. We had our first campfire of the trip and enjoyed the fresh lobster.  I like it too!

  1. Hi Milou,
    That is a great tripblog you are making. Wire fox terriers are pretty smart doggies. Your Mom takes nice pix of you, your Daddy and your surroundings.

    Brandy and Buddy say "Hi" and say that they will terrorize you at Camp Eley later this fall.

    Ciao
