本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛The second day, Saturday August 8, we left hotel room at 9:30am, which was an hour earlier than a day before, and today's destination - Saint John, New Brunswick. Booked a hotel room only a few hours ago using free but not reliable wireless Internet access that Quebec hotel had provided. We would stay in Saint John for two nights. It was still a long drive, more than 600km. As usual, we stopped for breakfast and lunch at Tim Horton's, picked up map and travelers' guide from information center in NB. J had no interest on anything, just sit at cube, reading Harry Porter - pretending to be a book worm. She complained the way I coughing, expecting me cover my face with sleeves even though I was driving. And she did show me how for she was coughing, naturally.
On highway 2, my GPS jumped off to nowhere. The female voice repeatedly but patiently announced "Recalculating", "Please drive to the highlighted ground", ... I could see that, on the GPS, my car drove off-road, crossing ground without any landmark or floating on water while the speed was more than 100km. Dam Garmin!, I trusted in you but you give me such a direction when I was thousand miles away from my comfort zone. The good thing was that I should drive more than 300km on highway 2. So just shut down the GPS and went.
We reached hotel at Saint John harbour at 6:00pm, spent almost an hour to check in decause Expedia.ca and the hotel did not exchange information on my last minute booking. The first thing after check-in was go out, searching for food. We went to the market place where we were told that we could find different restaurants. There were only two - one was too expensive even to J, the other one was a pub and we did not like its atmosphere. And J finally tired of Tim Horton's. We went back to the hotel and had a dinner in its restaurant - it was no good, the worst meal in the trip. We ended up cooking noodle in the hotel room again.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
