We started slow this morning – probably because of the heavy fog hanging all around us. We worked on some photos and then went to grab an early lunch (11:00am) at the Coastal Tides Family Restaurant in town. We were the first customers of the day as they had just opened. Good simple food. I had a nice large fresh salad with grilled scallops and Jim had a heartful hamburger, also very fresh and tasty. Also, the staff was very friendly and attentive.
We spent the rest of the day on the Fundy Trail Parkway which goes along the Bay of Fundy coast, stopping at the very many viewpoints. It was quite foggy but we were still able to enjoy and even take pictures.
TOTAL NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN = 29 miles (47 km)
The Fundy Trail Parkway hugs the coast of the Bay of Fundy and is a 2,559-hectare park. The auto parkway travels 19 miles (30 km) along the Fundy cliffs and the rocky beaches sculpted by the extreme tides. The Fundy Trail is part of two UNESCO designated sites, Stonehammer UNESCO Global Geopark and the Fundy Biosphere Reserve.
We went on a couple of shorter hikes (about 2 km or less), all very nice. We found one hike that went down to a rocky beach (Melvin Beach) so we could get close to the water and take nice pictures from the shore. One of our hikes was to a swinging suspension bridge over the Salmon River. We finished the day walking by the Salmon River and back up to our parking at the visitor center to drive back to our chalet. See the photo gallery below for the photos we took.

For dinner, we were on the standby list to eat at a nice restaurant, but unfortunately there were no cancellations, so no fine dining for us.
Instead, we stopped at Huttges General Merchant on Main Street, an old-time grocery store with very limited choices for food, but we were able to get some very fancy snacks: cheese, crackers, wine, tortilla chips and salsa, beef jerky (for Jim) and cookies. We also stopped at a liquor store to buy a couple of bottles of wine for the road.
We had our one-of-a-kind dinner with some nice red wine, enjoying the view on the Bay of Fundy even if it was a bit foggy. Luckily, it was not very cold.
