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
