We left Antigonish at 10:00 and headed east towards Truro approximately 120 kms away.It was here were we would decide whether or not to take another shot at Halifax or head northeast to Moncton, New Brunswick.It so happened that it continued to rain so it was a right turn towards Moncton. We made a quick stop atJim Hortens coffee and Donuts. We should have bought "stock s" on this company before we left.Anyways, while waiting to place our order, we heard a mans voice from behind say…if you don´t behave yourself, I´ll have to send you both back to Denmark."It was a man we met at a Tim Hortens in Cape Breton about 1000 kms back. It is a small world we live in. We finished our coffee and continued along Hwy 104past Moncton and then over to Hwy 1 down towards St. Johns, New Brunswick. The rain followed us all the way .It washere we found our second motel. A well needed place to dry out all of our things.It has been extremely hard to drive in this type of weather.Its pouring rain, the winds are blowing hard and at some points the fog so thick you could hardly see 100 meters ahead.To get a better idea of how it is, try driving on the highway at 80kms/hr,turn off your windshield wipers and cut the defroster so the inside of the windshield fogs up. When you´re on the highway like that, you have to be careful what's in front of you and that you don´t drive too slow so you get someone running into you from behind.Sometimes a little too exciting for me. You can of course open the visor a crack to let some air in to clear the fog from the inside of the visor but the result of this is you let water in from the top of the viser and it runs down the inside. It´s kind of a no win situation. Not to mention a little complicated. I must try and get a hold of some antifog for the visor.

We once again found with the help of Mr. Garmin , a fine little Motel overlooking the most of St. Johns. I can´t say enough time what a pleasure it is to have the help of the gps when searching for places to stay. We have learned to just set it to search for places a half hour before we´re ready and something always shows up.

We moved into the motel and decided to head down to the water to see if we could experience the tide change.We were on out way to the reversing falls just 5 minutes from here. This was the place where the mighty St. Johns river( 760 kms long)empties into the Fundy Bay. Two times a day there is high tide and two times low tide. Its exactly 6 hours and 13 minutes where the water is either flowing in or flowing out. The difference between low and high tide varies between 6 and 16 meters.Scientists say that 100 billion tonnes of water flow in and out of the Atlantic Ocean every time.This is very close tothe equivalent of all the water that flows through all of the worlds rivers in one day. In low tide everything seems to look normal but when thetide changes, the extreme masses of water actually reverse the flow of the St. Johns river.At one point the river is at a complete standstill and then slowly changes direction. The white rapids suddenly change direction and head up river. Quite fascinating to see.

Once again it began to drizzle so we headed back to the hotel.I made a brief appearance later but unfortunately didn´t film because of the rain.

When we returned to the motel, there were old white rags hanging on the door handle.The owner apparently saw the poor shape my bike was in and thought it was time to clean it up. Nice touch on the extra motel service.

It rained cats and dogs the whole night through. We woke many times hearing the rain fall onto the balcony out back. They should invest in some eaves troughs to collect the rain.I´ll put that into the suggestion box.

The next morning the rain let up but the clouds were not giving up.We finished packing our bags and on our way out the door, the rain began again.Good thing we´re use to that sort of thing.It did let up temporarily so we could get on the highway but that was it. We were headed for the border crossing at St. Stephens.
