Fredericton

< -- when they say no parking they mean it

this was 4 lanes and a car park -->

This is the capital of New Brunswick. We got into a car park, but the lady said to get out as they were expecting a flood. There was a little bit of water, but by 5pm, the whole car park was under, and some of the main road. Everyone gathered on the pedestrian bridge to watch the latest show in town: see who had the guts to cross the water with their car, and who could make it through (all bar one soggy VW, who eventually dried out and kept going). We saw two beavers enjoying it all. The biggest news to hit New Brunswick since the 1973 flood, and made the national news. Ollie was more impressed with the dogs on the bridge.
