Total Km = 306 
Woke up to the rain in Dieppe that the weatherman had promised. However it was predicted to clear by noon which would about coincide with Raindancer being ready with his new tires– perfect. Except the part where it didn’t clear until 3:30, so we rode mostly in a foggy drizzle until then. Yes, we have put on over 14,000 km since home so new shoes were required.
In spite of this we enjoyed the NB countryside and the views of the Bay of Fundy. Had a late lunch in the town of St. Martins at a restaurant/B&B run by a retired Denver homicide detective. He was very interested in Raindancer as about 15 years ago he had stumbled upon this small NB town while riding his Goldwing on vacation and ended up returning after retirement. Good Mexican food! A nice change from all the seafood we have been consuming.
We arrived in St. Stephen and decided to visit the Ganong chocolate factory, just across the street from the motel. Although the internet said they are open ‘til 7 the place was deserted although unlocked!
We looked around a bit, but ended up buying a sample (supposedly the first chocolate bar every made) on the way back at a little gift shop that also sold gummy “lobsters”. We will try them later.
Doug finally found a lawn chair to fit him at the motel, well maybe a little big as he complained his feet couldn’t touch the ground! Now he knows how a lot of us feel.
We are really noticing the heat and humidity now so will see what the next few days bring as we plan to ride along the Maine coast.
