I was about to skip the Egypt falls site, and drive home early. I’m really glad I didn’t. The pictures does not do justice how beautiful it is in real life. Also being able to see it in person without anyone else around was a very unique experience. However, to get to this site was very interesting. I have to drive two km through some really rough gravel roads, and hike for almost half hour one way down some very steep cliffs. The trail actually had ropes to help you, and trust me, you’ll need it. It was very sketchy, and unfortunately I was very unprepared for a hike. I didn’t have the right shoes, I had no walking stick, I didn’t bring water with me, and I was famished, since I didn’t eat breakfast yet! By the time I was reached my destination, I was huffing and puffing non stop. And that’s just one way! I still have to hike back up to my car! I ended up falling once, and scratched my knee for the first time since I was a kid. But the reward was definitely worth it.
As a finale, I went to visit Inverness Beach boardwalk. It was a nice destination to conclude this amazing trip. By the time I reached this beach, I was no longer huffing and puffing, so I made breakfast/lunch in the parking lot, next to a big stack of lobster traps. I actually took a small momento from this beach as a souvenir for this amazing trip.
I start driving back home shortly afterwards. I stop at the New Brunswick welcome center, and have lunch/dinner at the park.
I’m going to explore Moncton a bit for tonight, and I’ll be headed to Montreal first thing tomorrow.
it’s going to be a few days before I can update this blog again. Apparently the water did more damage than I thought, and it is no longer powering up. Oh well. I’ll figure something out when I get home. I’m updating this entry with my phone. That’s why the formatting might be a bit different. Also, the interface is just so difficult to use!
