For breakfast, we had sticky buns, hard-boiled eggs, and coffee which was sufficient for us this morning. After doing a bit of catch up on our photos and blog, we left our chalet at 10:00am and drove to the trailhead of the Matthews Head Trail, a 4.5 km loop. This trail ended up being a bit challenging with lots of ups and downs and lots of tree roots in the forest that we had to pay attention to. Nevertheless, it was a very pleasant hike with many great lookouts on the Bay of Fundy with many opportunities for photos.
Since it took us longer to finish the hike we didn’t really have time for lunch so we finished our tortilla chips and salsa, hard-boiled eggs, cheddar cheese and crackers. Just enough fuel to get to our kayaking tour in time.
TOTAL NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN = 21 miles (34 km)
We spent 3.5 hours kayaking on the Bay of Fundy and on the Salmon River. Originally, we were supposed to go much farther on the Bay of Fundy but due to the winds, the guides shortened the trip in the ocean and instead we spent more time on the Salmon River. After the rougher waters on the Bay of Fundy, it was really very peaceful to kayak on the river. The guides were very knowledgeable about the region, the tides, and the wildlife. A lot of fun. We got a bit wet but nothing too bad. We had a 20-minute break on a sandy and rocky beach where they gave us some energy food – fruit punch and sticky buns from Kelly’s Bake Shop where we had bought our own sticky buns for this morning’s breakfast. Everything always tastes great in the outdoors!
We didn’t take many pictures because we didn’t want our cameras and cell phones to be damaged because of the water. Jim was able to take a couple of pictures while we were having a snack break.
After our kayaking tour we went straight to our chalet to wash the sea water off our clothes and chilled before going back to town for our dinner.
We had our dinner at the Octopus’s Garden, a very nice bistro style restaurant with very good food, all sourced from the area and homemade. I had lobster risotto and Jim had the confit de canard with cassoulet, all with a nice bottle of Cotes du Rhone.
Then, it was time to call it a day… another fun day in the great outdoors of Canada!
