morning good morning guys greetings from the pack of my parents car yes are doing

a little road trip today yeah it's actually one of the hottest days of the

year there's a bit of a heatwave going on and it's meant to be like 40 degrees

today yeah so Sam's parents friends invited us to come to st. Martin's a

little seaside village that we've never been to before yeah it's on the Bay of

Fundy yeah this is cute little town there's a number of different things you

can do here I believe there's caves there's a there's a beach you can go for

a walk Fundy Trail Parkway on the trail and we might even partake in some of the delicious

looks cool there's chowder we know this lobster rolls yeah I mean

it's gonna be great we're just coming here to have a nice chill day that's

basically just a day trip with my parents with some family friends and

yeah we're gonna have a great time so let's see what we get up to you so

we're driving through the town out and we're visiting I had a bit of a special

time because it's we all town we always oh thanks all we I

guess basically the premise is that for anyone who's moved away it's a chance to

come back reconnect with the small town here from uh-huh and it seems like

almost I'd say like over half of the homes here are having garage sales this

weekend oh yeah so I mean you have people out and about like grabbing

different things like clothes old books furniture antiques I mean we might even

stop by a place if we have time but it's fascinating it it feels like you know

first Saturday morning at 10:00 in the morning it's a very lively and vibrant

community so far yeah and some beautiful homes as well so the first little pit

stop that I had was actually in a general store basically like a small

grocery stop and inside of this place you had all kinds of food you had

souvenirs some local products but what was really fascinating is that the store

was built in 1889 and according to our friend Joan it's only had three owners

over the years and from the outside I thought it was a church yeah like the

building looks like a church yeah the architecture is really neat and yeah

such a cool store so much character inside

well guys we have arrived at our very first stop of the day slippery boar at

the sea caves here in Saint Martins and we got very lucky because we did not

check the times for high tide low tide but we just happened to get here during

low tide which means we can walk into the caves we can walk on what's normally

covered by water and so much cooler here like in Fredericton today we're

expecting temperatures close to 40 degrees with the humidity and here it

must be like low to mid-20s there's just like a natural cool breeze blowing

through like air conditioning nature's air conditioning and so yeah we're just

gonna have a little look around here this is probably my main attraction in

this town it's a place that someone had recommended to me on Twitter as well so

thank you

there comes Sam Oh a pit stop we've got the group waiting for us yes so we

should get going okay all right definitely impressive and apparently I

mean obviously when the water comes in you can come and visit these caves and

the kayak yeah different experience I like the hopewell rocks yeah exactly

time for a much-needed update we have just entered into fundy trail I drove

around for a while a beautiful Drive oh my gosh it's I think it's almost even

more beautiful than the fundy National Park oh there was no traffic I mean it's

totally serpentine roads up and down you're going through forests and then

every once in a while you'd peacoat along the coast yeah beautiful and I

have to say the surprising thing is that we're the only ones here it's the middle

of summer a beautiful sunny day yeah I think more people would be like having a

picnic or swimming or road-tripping but it's just us and we pulled into Long

Beach it's a super long it's just the tide has started coming in now so like

half of it is underwater but it's still big even like with it

being half covered so yeah really impressive everyone's going down there

to have a little walk and then we're gonna do a picnic yeah I'm gonna have a

picnic lunch here and so far the only people here guys wow there's a lot of

space here in Canada especially New Brunswick

she sells sea shells by the sea sells seashells by the seashore there we go

she sells seashells by the seashore she sells seashells by the seashore

what is it today you found it for me and of course joining us on this trip

George and my father how you enjoying things so far

life's a beach life's a beach a little chilly to go in first time oh yeah oh

yeah are you gonna go in no way even though I can't swim anyway so I swim

like a rock I'm not gonna go in do you want to think like it's thrown in there

I love walking on the beach the beach is great and there's hardly anyone here I

think it's just awesome I saw two other people now something like that just

drove down but then they took off is well we're gonna eat here so yeah we're

just gonna take off our sandals walk around soak up the Sun and the beach so

this is Long Beach right now half underwater but still you can see

it's very wide lots of sand and there's also kind of like this cool fog rolling

in over the sand I'm not sure if you can really see that behind me but kind of

look moody and mysterious

ready for lunch Oh walk in the woods walk in the woods I

think we're going to the lookout and now a nice little picnic with some

rather impressive views just wait till you see this lunch is served

we have three wonderful salads one is kale with is it roasted walnuts in maple

maple syrup cranberry is so good we also have a sweet potato and egg mash a nice

cold salad mmm a lovely Caesar lots of sandwiches cookie this beautiful view so

awesome

well I am now wandering alone because I somehow lost our group

I lost family oh my gosh honestly I turned around to snap photos

for like two minutes and next thing I go next thing I know

everyone's gone what is this on the hanging bridge lots of people swimming

in the river lots of dogs cooling down as well but yeah maximum of 10 people at

a time you got to keep moving gotta keep moving

first you should tell the world how you lost your wife

no we need to explain how Audrey wandered off from the group there's a

loss a big group of us here's one in a hard way

Audrey took off to go hiking and everyone had no idea where she was my

mom checked in the bathroom I looked around the interpretive Center we

wandered off we're gonna have to keep what uh what are those a brace what do

you call those ankle bracelets that way you don't wander off here in the woods

but you know now we're just walking here in the shade it's so nice the

temperatures like well five degrees cooler we had such a big lunch so any

kind of walking we can do is to work it off it's very much needed I think they

said we're headed to the the salmon pools I believe they're called

yeah which are like swimming holes uh-huh and yeah it's a really nice trail

because we have lots of shade lots of coverage just be careful here Sam it's

like super wet and muddy so one thing to mention this year we're making more of

an effort to really explore our home countries yeah specifically we've been

focusing on New Brunswick because let me say I've been coming to Fredericton ever

since I met you once a year sometimes twice a year but like we've never done

this much sightseeing we've never really done any same thing we've done yeah

covered Fredericton pretty well yeah a couple day trips that's it you know what

for me I've been coming to this province since I was like this Paul wee wee boy

every summer to visit my grandparents we did a little bit of travel but most of

this province has been totally uncharted for me as well so they get an

opportunity to go and see a few different areas and Fundy yeah so go to

st. Andrews I mean there's even more places to visit this problem has a lot

to offer yeah yeah and like I mean just in the last two weeks we did a big trip

with my parents and Sam's dad where we did what we started in Fredericton we

did sing Andrews keep and rage funding National Park the hopewell rocks yeah

now we're doing this fun little adventure to st. Martin's and like the

sir rounding area so yeah there's lots to

see here and the beauty of this province is that there's hardly any worse it's

more a lot there's a lot more there's a lot more nature than people yeah get out

of the cities and into the into the parks yeah add to the forest you really

feel like you're exploring you're not yeah other places in Canada or around

the world for that matter when you go for a hike in a famous place just you

know there's so many people here you have so much breathing room so much

legroom and you really feel like you're out in the woods I feel like here in New

Brunswick like locals know about these cool spots but people in neighboring

provinces haven't discovered them yet guys New Brunswick check it out

all right guys our last stop was fuller Falls yep HUD nice little peek at them

snap some photos yeah beautiful little Falls I had such a cool I'm such a cool

descent to get down there yeah it was a very rustic trail yeah so now while we

Hawk back in the car and drove to st. Martin's maybe just like a 15-minute

drive yeah and the great debate now is chowder or ice cream gonna be here this

is where we get it yeah you gotta walk inside and order it yeah chowder ahh

we are now taking you guys on a little tour of st. Martin's covered bridges

there are two of them two guys yeah these are these are real heritage

bridges because I mean obviously they're not being built anymore and now that

there are more floods per year some of them have been destroyed so there's less

and less in the province I didn't know that and further to have to live here

it's pretty special also fun fact these were known as kissing bridges because

couples could sneak a little pack without anyone seeing them are you

riding like a little horse and buggy a little carriage

Oh Joan's house

so the place we were originally planning to go to for ice cream and chowder is so

popular and there was such a long line that we were like no way driving yeah we

kept moving on I don't actually know what this place is called one sign says

st. Martin's ice cream parlor yeah it just says fresh lobster rolls

yes stop forcing so so it sounds like they do a bit of everything Sam and I

have ordered one chowder a medium shout yeah share and we're gonna get ice cream

ice cream afterwards I get it now because it'll melt by the time we're

done the cheese yeah now we're just waiting in the only

shade there is vehicle ice cream for Sam cooling down with someone campfire

smores and peanut butter chocolate fudge you doin mine

Wow ultimate and decadent chocolate and peanut butter Sam's favorite combo is

the all-time winning combo

and now Red Rock can you guys see how it gets its name apparently this is a bit

of a secret beach because it's not really super easy to access like it's

not off a main road or anything you kind of have to detour down these little side

streets and then go on a bit of a trek but yeah when you get here you kind of

have this place all to yourself I mean it's our group and then one guy

who just came down to the beach but aside from that there's no one else and

we just really lucked out as well being able to visit during low tide again low

tide again so we can actually walk on what would normally be underwater

well guys we made it back by the look on our faces what is it we're tired

extremely yes we need to thank our family friends Joan and Garry they

planned everything for inviting us or biting us organising all the activities

providing an incredible meal they're like three delicious salads oh my gosh

of other things yeah yeah what a day and some really nice Cuban friends joined us

as well eight of us all together you have us we

had a little gang and honestly before this trip like I didn't really know

anything about st. Martin's I had heard the name hmm but like I didn't know what

to go back and it was such a nice little place to visit and so much access to

nature essentially I heard my parents referring to it as the hidden jewel of

New Brunswick oh well there you go guys you find it up here I think for me the

the take-home message from this trip is that there's adventure nearby you know

I've been to New Brunswick I don't even know how many times worried yeah almost

every year since I was a kid and I mean I've been to a few places but most of

the time is just like family gatherings and hanging out at home and this

province has so much to offer I'm just discovering this you know many

decades later mm-hmm and because we're here in the summer and

we still have a bit of time left in the province we're gonna try and do a few

more trips and show you guys around here so stay tuned for that we'll see what's

next a team for that I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did give it a
