Left the Auberge
after another great breakfast, although it was more healthier this
morning. Then we went West to
Cambellton and the small islands beyond that are in between Quebec
and New Brunswick.
We also went to the top of Sugarloaf, a popular ski hill in the winter that has BMX'n and hiking in the summer.
We then headed to
our B&B in Miramichi, the Governor’s
Mansion Inn. It was built a little over 150 years ago by local timber
barons and was eventually used as the New Brunswick
Lieutenant-Governor’s house from 1958 to 1965, until moved to the
current residence
in Fredericton. The position and official residence not the home
itself.
We arrived early
which was a good thing as the owner did not get our request for
supper emailed to him. He was more than happy to accommodate and a
very nice meal was served.
In the estate there
is also another manor (owned by the timber baron’s brother), a
conservatory, and two riverside buildings used to bring on supplies
and goods and sell them. They are not available for viewing nor staying at yet but the owner has long term plans.
We stayed in the
servants quarters which was still pretty nice.
