Day 4 - Tour Day

This morning we got up to grab a quick breakfast and then off to the buses to begin Tour Day.

The Team were on one of four tours - Hopewell Rocks and Cape Enrage on the Bay of Fundy, St Andrews by the Sea, Geocaching and science activities around Fredericton, and the Bay of Fundy coast including sea caves.

There was lots to see and do, and the weather we experienced was as diverse as the tour destinations - a little rain, a bit cold (especially on the coast!), then sunny and warmer.

It was a bit hard to keep track of what everyone was doing today, there were lots of interesting activities that both explored natural features and also gave the students the chance to participate in some activities and demonstrations.

  


Science Fairs can be tiring!  The bus trips and tours were interesting with interpreters and guides, but also could be a bit long!


 

The entire team enjoyed their tours and activities, and there wasn't much time to rest afterwards, as within half an hour of arriving back at the campus we were off to our "Night on the Town" dinner out, at a restaurant (Issac's Place) in downtown Fredericton.

The plan was to walk there, and it was a great walk in the sunny early evening.  The restaurant was great with a wide variety of dinners to choose from.

A toast to the team from Dan
 The team has been amazing and today was a well earned stress-free day after the great job everyone did yesterday with Judging.

Tomorrow we have some University of New Brunswick science activities in the morning, and then a combination of events in the afternoon - public viewing and science lectures.  The team will be at the project hall and lecture events until 8pm tomorrow, so it will be another busy day!
