As usual, I woke up at 8:00am, helped pack our tents up, ate a breakfast consisting of sardines and bread, and hopped into the van for a long car ride to our next destination (I had grown accustomed to this routine). Today, we left Stanley Campground at and headed towards the Confederation Bridge .
At , we reached the Confederation Bridge . We paid the toll ($43.95) and began to drive over the world’s longest bridge crossing ice-covered waters (as stated on my PEI map). Ten minutes later, we reached New Brunswick and stopped at the Confederation Bridge tourist centre. Here, I took lots of photos and for once, I was in one of them!
After the thirty minute break, we began to head north and stopped at Shediac , New Brunswick at . We visited Shediac’s main attraction; a giant lobster! While I took photos of my brother climbing on the lobster, my mom went and bought lunch; two giant lobsters for fifteen dollars! For the second day in a row, we had lobsters for lunch (we paid two hundred dollars less compared to yesterday at the Fisherman’s Wharf).

At , we left Shediac and drove towards our next destination; Kouchibouguac National Park . At first, I couldn’t even pronounce the park’s long name. After arriving at Kouchibouguac (), we visited the visitor’s centre and my mom made me read all the information they provided. I learnt that the name Kouchibouguac, of Mi’kmaq origin, means “river of the long tides”, but apart from that, I didn’t gain any useful knowledge. We then proceeded to register for our campsites but were alerted by the campground officials that there were no more campsites available. My dad became enraged before the officials told my dad that they were joking around.

At , my dad announced that for tonight, we would be having a barbeque. This brightened up my day, as a barbeque meant sausages, lamb chops, and wondrous chicken wings! After dinner, we played some card games and called it a day at . According to my dad, we will be leaving Kouchibouguac tomorrow and that we needed a lot of rest tonight, so naturally, I went to sleep at .
