Campobello Island, New Brunswick.
During the Labor day holiday, the Chin's took a long weekend break and visited Campobello Island. Day 1, we left our home around 2pm. As usual, long weekend traffic already started. It takes us a while to drive through I-95 to Maine. There is traffic on MA, NH and also ME. Normal traffic would take about 6+ hrs, but it took me almost 8 hrs to reach our campground.

I have a 3 days campground reservation at Herring Cove Provincial Park. On our way to New Brunswick, we stop at Yarmouth ME. We visited the world largest rotating globe, aka Eartha. The globe found at the lobby of DeLorme, mapping company.

After a brief stop, we continue our northbound toward Lubec ME. To reach Campobello Island, you can drive through the bridge at Lubec ME. Alternative, you can take ferry from L'Etete New Brunswick to Deer Island and another ferry from Deer Island to Campobello Island.

If you ever visit New Brunswick, they are not on EST timezone. They are on Atlantic timezone. EST +1.
We arrived late at the campground. I have to setup the camper in dark. It's hectic, but manageable. After camper setup, we all settled down and have a good night sleep.

We start day 2 with breakfast at the campground. Since we arrived late and exhausted, we ease off today activities. After a late brunch, we head out. We drive out of the campground and drive down Fundy drive. Our first stop is Schooner Cove.

Day 3
Our morning started late. The adult wake up early at 4am and head out to capture some dark sky photo. When I started to drive out of the campground, the gate is locked. I have to find a way to unlock the gate and close the gate after we drove out of the campground. The gate has a padlock, but it is not securely lock. I need to remove the padlock and swing the gate open for my truck to exit.
First stop, we head down to Herring Cove beach. The dark sky was not able to stay as the glimpse of light start to come out of the horizon. Herring Cove Beach might not be the perfect spot for sunrise. So we head out and drive down the Fundy Drive to Schooner Cove.

I setup my camera, but I didn't bring any memory card. It was a failed attempt. Instead, I turn on my cellphone camera and capture timelapse of sunrise on Bay of Fundy. It was a beautiful morning. Some cloud, but perfect morning to enjoy sunrise.
