New Brunswick - moose and McCain country

---

We left Prince Edward Island via Confederation Bridge, then enjoyed two days of driving through New Brunswick. After some non-descript highways we took quiet country roads and two river ferries through the pretty lower St John River valley, arriving in Fredericton where it was Saturday night mayhem at the restaurants and cinemas. The next day we drove the upper St John River valley, calling on the longest covered bridge (182m) in the world at Hartland, then the Potato World Museum, where a lovely young lady Jane took us on a surprisingly interesting tour. The Museum is at Florenceville, world HQ of McCains and therefore french fry capital of the world. Then on to Quebec to stay the night in the town of Riviere du Loup. We saw no moose on our travels but were constantly warned of them - 13 people died of moose run-ins in 2008 and they built a new freeway to reduce the likelihood of more deaths.
