Longest Covered Bridge in the World (so they say)

Today we crossed the border back into Canada to go see the Hartland Bridge in (where else) Hartland, New Brunswick. It is reputed to be the longest covered bridge in the world. It's one of those old fashioned covered bridges and it's 1282 feet long. It's also called the 'Kissing Bridge' and it's said that if you kiss your loved one in there you will have 1 year of good luck. So we did. LOL.
Not much to do there, seems that on Sundays, they roll up the sidewalks in this 'one horse' town so after walking the bridge from end to end and taking a few pictures, we went to Timmy's and grabbed some lunch. Then headed back to the campsite. We did have to make a quick side trip to Walmart for a couple things and a 30 pack of beer which costs all of $17.99 US. Cheap, cheap, cheap.
Tonight the people who own this campground (who are German) are cooking us up a big German dinner. Our caravan hosts says it's 'to die for'. Then tomorrow we all head back into Canada and stay at a campground in Fredericton. I think we're in Fredericton for a couple nights.
Everyday at 5 PM is social hour and you bring your drink of choice, chair and meet at the hosts MH.
So far we are really enjoying ourselves. These people are great..so friendly. We would certainly do this again.
Will let you know tomorrow what the dinner tonight is like.
Tomorrow they have a LEO night (Let's Eat Out) for those who wish to participate. We're not sure yet if we are participating or not. I do like cooking in here (call me crazy) and I did bring lots of good stuff to eat.
Till later then..take care...
