Day 15–Ponderosa Pines CG, Hopewell Cape, NB

on Wednesday, June 26, 2013

It rained most of the night and well into the morning. We had booked two nights  but actually only needed one night. But, since our payment was non-refundable we decided to just spend the day and plan for the next leg of our journey.

Since the only big attraction here is the Hopewell Rocks there wasn’t much else to do. Of course the internet access is intermittent so we were unable to post the last two days and worse yet Ron was unable to get into the internet to further his research.

 

Did I mention that the caravan left his morning and now the CG is virtually empty. We have no one to our right so we don’t feel so boxed in and were able to open the shades to let in some light.

I spent some  time cleaning and Ron decided he had cabin fever so took Jewel for a walk in the rain.

Jewel enjoyed her walk. There was no one around so she was able to roam free in the fields and on the rocky beach.

When they got back to the MH they were both soaked but in better spirits. Hanging around on a dreary day can get boring really quickly.  Later in the day we took a ride to the local gift shop and an art gallery. The owner of the art gallery was very accommodating and friendly and was more then happy to show us her studio where she had her ceramics in various stages o f completion.  She is an amazing artist and we fell in love with her work, albeit we didn’t buy any.

We had a light dinner and wondered why we hadn’t forfeited the $36.00 for the site and left for our next destination instead of sitting here all day. Let me think!!! On yes, that would have been a waste of money. Instead we stayed and then were unhappy with our decision.

 

Tomorrow we will be traveling about 275 miles  to Baddeck, Nova Scotia and the Cabot Trail.   The weather has  been at best  fair and we’re hoping for clear skies for the next couple of days.
