Although we would have liked to spend another night at the Lakeview campground in Fundy National Park, the office said it was fully booked for tonight. Time to move on.

We drove to Sussex in search of the information centre and ended up in a traffic jam. Turns out this was the weekend of the Sussex Flea Market, an annual multi acre highlight of the region. Tables upon tables of well loved items, some handicrafts, tools, car and tractor parts, kids’ toys and food stands. It was very busy and there were cars parked on pretty much every flat surface in town.

We had two major possible routes to Saint John but the RCMP officers in Sussex recommended the Fundy Drive as more scenic and recommended visiting the Octopus Ice Cream shop in St. Martins. The information centre across the road from the ice cream shop recommended driving through the covered bridge to visit the sea caves around the corner during low tide which happened to have to just started.

We arrived in Saint John and found the Rockwood Park Campground where we will be spending the night.
