On Tuesday we took a drive on the Fundy Trail Parkway, which winds along the coast just outside St. Martins, NB, with plenty of scenic lookout points along the way.

The road stops in a dead end after 16 km, so the visit is by necessity a there-and-back trip. As we were on our way back out, I asked Monika to punch in our next stop, Alma, NB, into the GPS. For some reason, it kept telling us to turn back around yet again. We were utterly confused, so Monika suggested we stop back in to the visitor's info at St. Martins.

Looking at the map at the counter, I asked "So the quickest way to Alma and Fundy National Park is by the 114 and through Sussex, is that right?"

"Yep, that's the way to go for sure."

"Ok, cause our GPS kept telling us to just drive through the barricade at the end of the Fundy Trail Parkway."

"Oh man, New Brunswick is a GPS's worst nightmare."

Fair enough. New Brunswick: 1. GPS: 0.

As we pulled into Sussex a little later, Monika was fiddling with the GPS again. "I'm really craving some Tim Horton's. It's surprising how few of them there seem to be around. The closest one isn't for 30 miles." She finished saying this and looked up just as I pulled into the Timmy's parking lot.

New Brunswick: 2. GPS: 0.
