We left Mirimichi mid-morning and our first destination was Shediac, apparently the "Lobster Capital of the World." There was no parking by the giant lobster - it is quite the tourist attraction - so we had to do a drive by............
We figured that since we were in the "Lobster Capital of the World" that this was the place to get the best, most amazing lobster roll yet. Brad did the research and found that Lenny's Take Out was the place to go.
The judges say......NO! Did not even taste like lobster and definitely not a good lobster/bun ratio. After a lot of deliberation, Lenny's takes the #7 spot, beating the now #8 Freight Shed due to the Freight Shed's teeny-tiny amount of lobster and very expensive price.

We made it to our last Airbnb of the trip in Alma, NB, just outside of Fundy National Park.

Once settled, we decided to make a dash for Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park as low tide was around 5:30pm and the rocks would be at their best during low tide. It was okay - a little Disneyland-ish with tons of people and having to follow certain paths, etc... It was also not inexpensive and quite commercialized - the most commercialized experience of the trip.
The tides are part of the phenomenon of this area - to read more, click here.
We are looking forward to our first full day exploring the Bay of Fundy area tomorrow.
