On the way to Bouctouche – Day 44 Part 2

As we pulled out of the marina in Shippagan we had to go under a draw bridge to cut across Lameque Island and head for the Northumberland Strait.

  1. What a neat place! And that house with all the miniature replicas! Thanks for posting!

    • Hi again Pat. Yes, that house with all the miniature replicas was really something. Each of those, the church, the lighthouse, etc. must have taken a lot of work and time to individually build. I wonder if anyone from the Bouctouche area knows any more about the home and yard replicas that could share more details with us. Do they leave them out all winter?

    • Bobbi, the house was on a side street in the town of Bouctouche. Each of the fun, large doll-house sized items in the yard were built by someone who took pride in doing beautiful and detailed work.
