Gagetown to Fredericton (66 km)

A typical B&B breakfast morning, all guests gather around the table, have breakfast together and a long discussion develops. Main topic today is the climate change. We sit in the house off an ex minister of Canada, one of the guests, a professor of the university of Toronto tells us, that climate change is positive for Canada. Of course, Frank cannot agree, but in a sense, Canada is a winner of global warming, at least in it weather. But, even there, we are not sure, at the moment there are huge forest fires in British Columbia, were usually it rain so often, that fires have little chance. So maybe the weather changes bring also draught and this is certainly a problem. Much too late we finally leave, it rains so no one is in a hurry.
After only 3 hours we arrive in Fredericton, the Capital City of this province. Nice little town, lots of students and still a bit British, we find this memorial sign under a big tree. It did better than Charles and Diana. Then we both need a hairdresser, me to cut, Katrin to color.
Looking like new we go to a free folk concert in the town center, even the hamburgers are free. We meet a group of young students from China there. They are here to learn how to fly an aircraft and especially to speak fluent English. They are very proud to become future pilots of big planes, so they tell us. It´s a wonderful peaceful evening here, all seem to be happy, a very international crowd, mostly students and nice music. So we wonder why the world is not the same, why can´t cultures not live together in peace. We don’t know, but enjoyed the evening.
