hey guys we're samuel and audrey and this summer
we're going to be taking you on a series of mini road trips around atlantic
canada this is probably the longest stretch of
time we've been home with no plans for any international adventures but we're
okay with that 2020 has given us the opportunity to
explore closer to home and discover places that maybe we overlook because
they were just so close by in today's video we'll be doing a bit of
glamping in new brunswick in a cute tiny house by the water
we'll be visiting king's landing and meeting characters who will show
us what life was like in this part of canada in the 1800s
we'll be eating our philip fish and chips as you do when you're in the
maritimes and will enjoy a beautiful sunset
together because there really is no better way to spend the summer evening
so let's jump into the tiny house tour and then we'll show you all the fun
stuff we got up to
duncan welcome welcome come on in it is time for another glamping
adventure and today we are in a tiny house
in upper kings clear again a super easy little weekend getaway from
fredericton maybe 20 minutes away 25 minutes tops
it's not very far at all it's right before king's
landing and it is beautiful we are right on the
water there's a dock so that we can go swimming there's a canoe available i
think we're going to get a beautiful sunset
so yeah i'm super excited to be here but first up we're going to give you guys a
tour so you can see where we're staying i don't blink
because it is a tiny house a tiny tiny house i think this might be the
tiniest one so far yeah not counting the tent the
toilet is not in the tiny house no no i'll show you the the outhouse
later but basically this is like a little studio
tiny house just one space and what you see
is what you get we've got a nice bed here
on one side with a fluffy duvet not that we're gonna need it it's the
middle of summer there's a heat wave going on
so i think we'll be okay um beautiful large window where we get views of a
little forest and then some neighbors behind the trees
so that's very nice yeah these are these real candles or no
these are the is the battery missing how do these work
these are battery powered candles when you don't
want to light a real one so over here we've got a little coffee
maker coirig we have some mugs some glasses you know
what i have my eye on right here is ginger tea
some yogi ginger tea yogi ginger tea all right well
for later this evening or tomorrow morning indeed indeed
and what else they left just a cute little note this was very nice
yeah you want to read it sure this was a nice touch
thanks thanks host says sam and audrey welcome to our slice of paradise we hope
you enjoy it as much as we do if you need anything during your stay
simply let us know sit back relax and enjoy
and if there's one thing i'm pretty good at sitting backs relaxing and enjoying
relaxing and enjoying in fact i've got craft beer in the freezer right now
yeah and sam's already had a one-hour nap on her hammock
outside that hammock after after going for an excursion this afternoon in the
heat yeah i needed some shade i needed a
little swing back and forth and that came in handy he got the swing
back oh yeah oh yeah all right well mini living area
over here we've got a nice little sofa sheepskin an ottoman yeah a fan
which i think will probably come in very you want to turn it on i'll show how it
works it turns on from the back inside of here
feels good guys at the moment it's a tad bit stuffy inside would you agree
yeah we've got the windows open i really think things will cool down later
on but it's just like the middle of the afternoon
peak of summer wave so we also have stools
yeah we've got two stools kind of like a little bar
area for i don't know the odd snack breakfast in the morning
yeah we'll be showing what we've got a little later yeah we got some
special chips chips ketchup chips some cereal for breakfast
did you know that ketchup chips originated in canada i did
okay i did know that did you know that before you researched it
no i did i've known that even though yes oh okay yes
i actually i had to look it up what were canadian snacks and junk food
and uh i was surprised to find out ketchup chips were amongst the
things that were invented in canada there you go something to be proud of
so this is our little eating area basically and if we open the curtains
we've got the house the main house this is
where the owners live so there's live over there got hammock
rivers down there yeah yeah so we're just keeping it closed for now you know
a little bit of space between us yes what else we've got a flashlight
in case we need to go out in the middle of the
night to use yeah i guess if we wanted to go to the dock
for some reason it works and now we will take you outside so we showed
you the inside which is small and the outside is a little bit even
more spacious the first thing i love is the happy camper sign are you a happy
camper samuel today i am yes because i got my rest on
the hammock had i not got that rest maybe not a
happy cat or maybe a grumpy camper okay well let's be thankful for that the
thing i love about this place is that it's got a deck
surrounding the entire area this is going to be our barbecue grill
for the night so one of the super easy ones to use
spark it turn it on and we barely have anything to cook so
we have literally have two skewers yeah that shouldn't take very long at all
no we're not we're not attempting to uh a grill master your dad or anything
that's for sure so as we come along here the deck
continues and don't mind the wind because it is a
little bit windy and this is where i think we're going to
have our beers very soon we've got a couple of uh lawn chairs
which are super comfortable and if you come over here
we've got the woodshed
okay shall we we shall we shall okay removes the bungee cord
first all right sam's already been here oh you
haven't been inside yet wow wow you're in for a surprise
come on in come on in don't bump yourself
well okay so we have artwork covering one window then we can see
straight down to the water yes i believe this is called a medical
commode okay um so basically well sam's already
used it so i'm not gonna lift the lid yeah we don't
we don't need to see what's in there you lift the lid you go to the toilet
yeah um they've put a bag in there so yes they're gonna tie the bag and
yeah and then that's the lid for it the lid okay right you didn't put the lid
back on no that's for when they did that's when
they deal with it later okay sure look there's more artwork more art
in case you you need inspiration in the bathroom okay which
is nice toilet paper yeah we have um wet wipes hand sanitizer
yeah a very thoughtful station with more candles
yes because you know you can never get enough candles and more
garbage bags in case this one fills up with
number one and two oh my gosh i've never no no no no plans for us to to make that
happen too no too so yeah that is it it's
maybe the most unique outhouse flash yeah
bathroom there are no curtains anywhere but in the little booklet it said that
they've tested out the toilet from different angles and that no one can
actually see you here so you can enjoy the view maybe a fox
and maybe a fox maybe maybe a record we can
handle a fox or a reckon seeing a summer toilet
but enough about outhouses let's travel back in time to new brunswick in the
1800s so as we already mentioned earlier that
day we visited king's landing and no this has nothing to do with game of
thrones king's landing is a living open air museum where you can walk through a
village and experience what life was like in rural new brunswick back in the
1800s the best part really is chatting with
the villagers because they are interpreting real stories from the past
and they will not break character over the course of our visit we met the local
choir practicing ahead of the church service
we learned some of the town gossip while visiting the blacksmith in his workshop
and we bought some hard candies from the local store but we'll get to all of that
first up we need to hop on a wagon and hitch a ride into town
this is so refreshing oh it's like ice water
let me have a bird back here it's probably no surprise that our first
stop in the village was the king's head in restaurant
it was lunchtime and we were hungry we ordered two sweet lemonades that were oh
so refreshing a delicious order of fish and chips with
coleslaw and tartar sauce a side of giant onion rings and a
gingerbread cake with cream for dessert just a very timely ice cold
oh much needed in this heat with ice cubes
it's nice and sweet and tart that's the most refreshing thing in the world
fish and chips have arrived they look
amazing portions are super generous
that was it looks so good don't get in the tata
oh i can hear that i can hear the crispiness of it
how's that mm-hmm
perfectly fish and chips are uh an institution out here
in the maritimes
oh yeah these are super crispy big big slices of onion yeah these are awesome
just finished lunch how was it it was a feast of feasts
that was very good yeah it was delicious but to be honest on a day like today
would have been better maybe to go with one of their salads i'd say
yeah just love the fish and chips the onion rings were gigantic
nice dessert and maybe best of all was the
the ice cold lemonade that was so needed yeah everything we ordered was about 30
total yeah great prices were really really big
yeah like honestly you could probably split a fish and chips with someone if
you got two pieces like we did you could get a single piece but for a couple
bucks more you add a second piece of fish
so now we're gonna go walk around the village a little bit
and see what we find we've got our little map in hand so we're all set
then it was time to explore king's landing how it works is that you get a
map at the entrance with the layout of the village
and then you have the freedom to explore at your own pace going in and out of the
different buildings and meeting the various characters going on about their
day we visited some of the homes set along
the riverfront so we could enjoy the cool breeze
here we came across some of the local villagers who were fishing
doing laundry and having a mid-afternoon chat and we
eventually reached the local store where we bought some old-fashioned hard
candies
so we just did a little shopping at grant's store
got some candy some old-fashioned liquors guys
my family is we're all licorice addicts yeah
you really are my dad i mean audrey likes it the most oh my gosh i think
it's the worst thing in the world i got myself a little licorice pipe and
best of all for some vintage candy dad's
old-fashioned root beer and what did i get is mine still in
there a candy cane candy cane strawberry kiwi
oh
hallelujah away
we then rode the wagon to the local grist mill which grinds greens into
flour and millet we also visited the sawmill where we met
a friendly gentleman who invited us to try our hand
at being lumberjacks see who's the best well you could i pull you don't push
into it you pull into it
well that is a good job
and that was our visit to king's landing this is a really fun place to spend the
day if you find yourself in the fredericton area and we'd highly
recommend visiting but now let's get back to the tiny house
it is now craft beer o'clock it sure is and we're going to be trying
uh another local product super local fredericton local and we've got maybes
workhorse ipa seven percent so it is a strong ale
a hard-working canadian ipa with you for the long haul
unfiltered unpasteurized
there's nothing more refreshing than a good ice cold beer
on a hot summer's day for me right now a little slice of paradise
there we go you got a special one i did cheers to you blueberry side let's
do a proper cheers i wonder if it's going to be blue is it
blue yeah another new brunswick product that's kind of pink i know they go i
don't think i've had ketchup chips since high school maybe like it's been a long
time party in high school it's been a long time for me too
but these are so good in the kettle form like i would i would go to my way to
have this again these are that good would recommend we
recommend
grill master what can you tell us we've got the souvlaki going
all right it's super easy to light it's just
the initial stages got it on low heat i'm gonna cook it nice and slow
i mean this is all we've got for dinner so we gotta enjoy it right we've been
eating like little piggies and you know it i know and we've still
we still have uh ketchup chips there you go we're gonna start
but so that's dinner tonight that's dinner tonight voila
voila i hope we cooked it thoroughly enough yeah
i think we did we decided to cook it at a really low heat slowly over time beef
soup lucky yeah i'm gonna try a piece of beef first
mine's very juicy mmm i love it super tasty
all right we did well done we're done but yeah
this is a great barbecue food and um i get it again
yeah i think we're gonna enjoy this and then head down to the water
yeah sounds good
i have to say my absolute favorite aspect of this tiny house
was its location right on the water we were treated to a magical display of
soft pastels as the sun set and it was so relaxing to just sit there and soak
it all in
well the sun has gone down and we have beautiful pink skies we've been chilling
like villains here for what 45 minutes at least
yeah what time is it now it's uh it's past nine
sundown would have been 850. we've been here for at least
45 minutes this is summer in canada we've still got daylight 9 p.m
i remember our first attempt to come um maybe an hour and a half ago
it was way too hot yeah it's way too hot we had like the blaring sun on it
we sat under a tree for a while now now is paradise this is like
the perfect weather it's almost a little brisk like you almost are thinking about
like should i put on a light jacket but you still don't want to
i'm laughing because he said paradise and it makes me think
of katy perry oh my gosh
sam likes katy perry no i don't actually obviously you do that
carried out it's peridice harry dice
no but it's really nice it has cooled down tremendously
yeah it's stinging what a difference it's like summer in canada when the sun
goes down it's like yeah there's a really big difference in
temperature it's not like when we were in southeast asia where the
temperature would shift by just a degree or two it's substantial
substantially this is probably like mid to low 20s now and it's dropping it'll
probably drop to the high teens tonight oh just
loving it here this is maybe the most relaxing evening we've
had in a couple months like i just don't want
to get up i'm still enjoying this yeah we've
literally just sat here just sitting here
chit-chatting and enjoying the view
i just keep thinking like does this get old do these views get old for the
people who live here they don't because every sunset is
different right you get different cloud formations
different different things to look forward to in the sky
and also i mean here here you would get four distinct seasons so
i mean summer's brief and then you have autumn colors to look forward to and
then plenty of snow in the winter so yeah
yeah this has been nice
well good morning guys morning guys i'll put bright and early
because somebody was super excited to wake up and
start the day i'm ready to see us today it's just such a beautiful part of new
brunswick i want to get up have a good breakfast and get
going we've got some hiking to do and yes yeah i'm excited for all of it and
right now we're having a little breakfast
here on the picnic table by the lake check it out guys
so the the best feature about this all right is our friends
gary's berries oh blueberries yeah our family friend gary grows organic fruits
and vegetables and he brought over blueberries the
other day they are delicious they're yeah it's like next
level it's like how could you go back to regular blueberries
they're having these they're just so plump and delicious
yeah so we're having some cereal some granola cashew with almonds
and greek yogurt and blueberries that is breakfast here today
by the water gotta say i'm pretty happy with it
we're just trying to be really quiet because
there's a whole bunch of homes and cottages here on the water
we're kind of like in a little inlet it's like completely
silent completely still yeah i feel like everyone is still sleeping except for us
because of this guy another bird anyways um what i've also noticed too is
yesterday it was super windy and today it's as cold as can be the
wind really picked up in the afternoon several times
and basically the water looks like a lake today if you were to go out
it would be it'd be like like being out on the lake but if you come here for a
bit longer maybe two three days there's a canoe available the water was
so nice yesterday to go for a swim got my feet in the water yeah this is
the right temperature huh yeah it's like lukewarm again because
they are in this little inlet like the water really
it does warm up it's not freezing it's not what you'd expect from a canadian
body yeah there's more more of a climate of a lake here
yeah than a river yeah but it is a river the same children
so a little change of plans we had noticed on google maps that we were near
a place called woolistock park so we were planning to go hiking there
but then when we got there we realized it's actually like
an rv and camper park it's just like people
parking their vehicles and like there's a little beach area but it's private
like you need to be staying there so yeah we didn't know where to go and then
we remembered odell park that's actually in fredericton it's in the city but you
kind of feel like you're in the middle of the forest
and it's just really nice really peaceful lots of different walking
trails so yeah we're gonna take you for a
little hike here it's especially nice in the morning and in the late evenings
so sam would you say this is your favorite place to go running in the city
it's funny because it took me over 10 years to figure this out
i used to actually go running more along the river and this is definitely my
favorite spot it takes about 15 or 20 minutes to reach here from where my
parents live once you're out here it's a slice of
paradise like i just love it here i end up usually doing three or four
different loops what's your favorite thing about it just
being on the forest breathing the fresh air the lack of people sounds of
nature so while we're in the woods i thought we
could answer a question that came up a lot in the last video
a few people seemed concerned that we were quarantining in new brunswick like
why are you guys okay what happened perfectly fine we're
healthy we haven't had the virus but um the atlantic provinces here in
canada are being extra precautious so anyone
entering the province even from within canada like from
another canadian province you still have to quarantine for 14 days
yeah so that's the reason and when i and when i entered
you could only be coming into the province if you were visiting immediate
family yes i'm not sure that may have changed
maybe anyone can come and visit now for 14 days but you do have to quarantine
yeah and they do take it seriously they uh we were
we were called by the uh government official to make sure that we were
actually in our designated area yeah and we had
to answer questions like about symptoms how we're feeling
yeah did we come straight home from the airport did we make any stops encounter
anyone right so yeah but the one the one
positive of that is that the province has a very
low amount of cases oh yeah yeah especially compared to other parts
of canada so um yeah it wasn't fun but that ended a
while ago so now we're out tonight we're free
enjoying nature yes again happy and healthy yes
well guys that was our little getaway that's a wrap here from odell park here
at fredericton yeah i mean we sure made the most of
just under 24 hours didn't we yeah going to one night
yeah one night there going to king's landing i mean it was a lot of fun oh
one thing to mention about king's landing they have special dinners for
thanksgiving for christmas so if you want to have a festive meal
and kind of get to experience what life was like 200 years ago
head on over i don't know about you but my favorite part was
riding on the wagon i love that that was a lot of fun
and also just like meeting all the different characters because
they stay true to their role they do not break character and like they're talking
to you like it's the 1800s talking about the
town gossip and about the church service
starting yeah and they did they were walking over for
the service yeah it's really fun like they're living there
yeah that's so true and i thought the property we stayed at
was just cute and cozy just a great place to a great location
yeah i loved how there was a like they had built up the the dock
enough that you could go out there and there was a picnic benches and uh
yeah if we had a bit more time we probably would have gone canoeing
yeah it was just so windy yesterday we really couldn't
yeah we had more time this morning but hey we're back in the city now
and we've got another trip planned for you coming up in just a few more days
this is going to be a family trip family trip to grand manan so going with
my parents and family friends actually uh the the person who we gave
us the blueberries gary is going to be there gary and his
wife joan and we're going to be staying in a converted smoke shed a herring
smoke shed turned cottage oh yeah
how random is that yeah we'll definitely give you a tour of that and
the island itself is spectacular i went there about 15 years ago
and just loved it and so it's going to be really exciting to
to take a family trip there for a few days and we'll definitely be making a
nice long video about the whole experience so stay tuned for that
