... ein, welches uns einen tollen Ausblick auf die Bay of Fundy gewährte.

Unser Ziel heute waren die Hopewell Rocks. Es handelt sich hierbei um Gesteinsformationen, welche durch die gezeitenbedingte Erosion entstanden sind. Bei Ebbe kann man um die Formationen herumlaufen. Wegen des Tidenhubs von durchschnittlich 12 Metern stehen die Felsformationen zweimal täglich unter Wasser. Nachdem wir heute das Ganze bei Ebbe angeschaut haben, gehen wir morgen nochmals bei Flut vorbei.

... at dusk and greatly enjoyed the rural (if somewhat run down) countryside.

We shared the B&B with a couple from Ontario - had flown to Moncton NB and were returning home via train the next day from Moncton. Big fans of train travel, they have made many trips by rail across this country over the years.

Following our walk, we spent a quiet evening reading in our musty, crooked little B&B and despite a few misgivings, are happy to report it was ghost-free!

　

... the train and almost immediately were called to the dining room. The obligatory game of scrabble and then I assembled the beds and we crawled in for a rockin’ and rollin’ night. Surely cramped quarters but it still beats overnight airline flights.

Funny how these compartments didn't seem so cramped when Barry & I made the trip from Moncton to Quebec City.

Why does ...

... t swim very well ! Anyway, I could envision it in the off-season and see myself walking along this beautiful seascape ! From here we went to Green Gables which was the home of Lucy Maude's cousins and the place that inspired her books. I loved the house and wanted it as my own - including the gardens ! PEI is well-known for its "Lobster Church Suppers" so we found a church fairly close called ST. Ann's and introduced my ...

... boats were grounded. We bought some souvenirs at the local gift shop and then headed to Hopewell. The fog was so thick that you coulcndt even see the water on the bay like we could the day before. It was like being on top of the clouds. Rude people walking through parking lots notwithstanding, it was veen more breathtaking than yesterday. The Hopewell Rocks was really one of the major items on my Things to See and Do List and certainly worth the priority ...

Spent the morning doing the tourist thing - went to an Acadian museum, visitors' centre, etc. The most eventful part of today was a short afternoon drive from Moncton to Hopewell Rocks, which is in (on? near?) the Bay of Fundy, the site of the highest tides in the world. It was actually quite a hike to get from the visitors' centre to the flowerpot rock formations, but definitely worth it to see ...

... and picked up the rental car without a problem.

We found out just a few days before going to Moncton that there was an annual seafood festival going on at the time of our visit - quelle bonne surprise! Spent most of the day shopping and walking around downtown Moncton (which is not very big). The 'festival' mostly consisted of cooking demonstrations/tastings at various points around the city, as well as ...

... night.....yeah at least the tide didn't take us away. Nova Scotia is supposed to getting flooded right now. It is very wet in the Maritimes. Although the Acadian Village was closed the security guard offered a short tour. They have imported all original settlement building and have recreated a town that usually has actors dressed up and creating meals. Great place. We drive South ...

... Out in the distance, you could see huge craters in the floor holding trapped fish and sea life. When the tide came in you did not want to get stuck down here. It was awesome. http://www.bayoffundy.com/ New Brunswick is quite pretty. It is part of the Maritimes but it is also Acadien country.... The Acadians are the "other" Francophone community of Canada. They are also the people who settled Louisiana in large numbers at the ...
