Livin Life Based on the Tide Chart Part 3 of 7




We spent the next few days in St. Andrews New Brunswick. We arrived late the first night and checked into the Montague Rose. Our hosts were very friendly and the bed and breakfast was very nice. We were hungry and they recommended a place to eat called the Harbour Front. The folks at the bed and breakfast might recommend this place, but we wouldn't. We had an awful experience. First we were greeted by a gruff waitress and then three scary raccoons on the deck. Yikes! We moved inside and were served frozen fried scallops and tarter sauce that had already been opened and used by another patron. Yikes again! We ran into some nice people on the street who informed us that there were only three good restaurants in town. We woke up early the next day and had a yummy breakfast at the bed and breakfast and then we took a trip to Kingsbrae Garden. The gardens were beautiful. We had a good lunch at an oyster bar in town and then headed over to the pier for a late afternoon whale watch. We saw some cool things on the whale watch including a bald eagle, seals, some finback whales, Campobello Island, a herring weir, and a salmon farm. The next day we hung around town and drove over to Ministers Island during low tide and took a tour. You can only drive over during low tide...because...if not...you could get stuck over there. Kinda cool huh? Hence the name....Livin Life Based on the Tide Chart. The Bay of Fundy has some of the highest tides in the world. That night we had an amazing dinner at the Rossmount Inn (one of the three restaurants the person we met on the street told us about). This truly was an incredible meal. We were happy to have finally found an exceptional meal in St. Andrews. We left the next day for Fundy National Park. Stay tuned for more on that.........
