Colonial Inn Saint John

Vom heutigen Tag gibt es leider keine Bilder. Den ganzen Tag hat es geregnet. Wir hatten die Fähre nach New Brunswick gebucht. Da die Fähre erst um 16.30 Uhr losfuhr, hatten wir genügend Zeit um Digby zu erkunden.<br>In Saint John angekommen, fielen mit den vielen Regentropfen auch schon die ersten Schneeflocken!<br>

... was &#8216;humming&#8217; with activity as there were two cruise ships in harbour for the day - Caribbean Cruise Lines and Norwegian Cruise Lines - bringing potentially close to 5000 tourists to the downtown area. We hiked along the walkway, eventually leading back to the &#8217;Reversing Falls&#8217; (from our entry yesterday). We watched a video there that further explained this phenomena then stood at the viewing decks for awhile, watching the effect of the changing tide on the ...

... to 25 miles up river by the time high tide is achieved. At low tide, this salt water rushes back out along with the volume of backed up fresh water from the river to create a dramatic outflow. The interaction of these two forces cause dramatic whirlpools and rip tides which attract &#8220;extreme&#8221; white water kayakers to test their skills in this unique environment. <br><br>After supper, we returned to the l-a-r-g-e room at our B&amp;B and settled to sleep in our king sized bed.

... from our host of several places to eat dinner. We chose one on Market Square, a hot spot of dining places and the New Brunswick University. It was called &#8220;Billy&#8217;s Seafood.&#8221; We really liked the seafood there, and recommend it highly.<br><br>Well it&#8217;s getting late, and we will be on our way to St. Andrews-by-the-Sea tomorrow for two days of sight seeing and hopefully a whale watching tour.

... br>As the event draws nearer the energy in the house multiplies - in a good way - no one is freaking out, panicking, or crying - at least not on the outside.<br><br>The ceremony goes off wonderfully! the weather is perfect &amp; everyone is in high spirts as we head to the reception and lobster dinner. mmm... lobster.... Drinking, dancign and general good times ensue, and the party caries on till the wee hours...

... going to be joining us as well as my Dad, my cousin Kendra, and my brother's wife's mother Patty. Basically we have a few days to hang around the orphanage then we'll try to fit in as much of Benin as we can in the short time we have before heading back to Ghana to make sure Mom, Dad, Kendra and Patty don't miss their flight home on August 17th. Michelle and I planned for an extra 10 days so we can head to the north of ...

... trip to Cuba and security problems, I know there's nothing illegal in there, so why is it put aside? The officer scrutinized everything, passing some type of long wand with the tip covered in fluffy cotton. I was as intrigued as he was,dying to ask but certainly refrained; after a while, he couldn't find anything wrong and let me go. Geez these people can make an honest person worried to death and ...

... br>After we arrived in Canada we went to Visitors information which is right at the border and easy to access.  It is still cool and rainy so the place was empty and I am sure the ladies there were just dying to do something so we spent a good 30 minutes there asking all the questions and having them pile information into our arms.  As we walked back to the RV we passed a barber (old school) on the main street and Brent was ...

... the reversing falls to see the tide changes and downtown. The next morning I woke up around 07:30 to leave by 08:30 and see the high tide at 09:57. I wanted to get a look at both the high and low tides from the same area to put it in perspective. I underestimated how long it would take to get there without a map and I arrived in plenty of time (shortly after 9am). In this time I just hanged out at the Fallsview Park for half an hour or so to ...

... sections, the fortifications, reversing rapids falls, and ended up at the Old City Market. One of the most impressive features of the Old City Market is the roof, which looks like an upside down boat. The reason, we were told, is that ship builders built the building, and this is what they knew. As impressive as the architecture is, it is nothing compared to the welcoming attitude of the locals.
