... 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.

... things to see and do - seems to create a bit of anxiety for me. But…..you soon get into the ‘groove. We followed the Fundy Coastal drive along the south shore of New Brunswick, stopping in Sackville for a picnic (a small university city - very pretty). The essence of fall is surrounding us every where we go now and more and more autumn colors by the day.

We arrived at our B&B at about 5:30 PM. Elaine, our hostess said the house was about 200 years old ...

... another rental car just did not seem all that appealing so we chose to pay the drop-off fee and the bridge toll and keep our little red Dodge an extra day.

Had another delicious breakfast, packed up and drove across the Confederation Bridge and on to Amherst where we had lunch at the most popular joint in town - Tim Horton’s. Took a few pics and carried on to Moncton.

... At the moment there was no music coming from the barn however there was a young man outside. I began to speak with him to learn he was one of the performing "Sky's" and that they were half way through their family performance but invited us in as their guests. The inside was full of people and the family had 3 sons, a daughter and the father who all either played fiddle, guitar, flute or guitar. They shared their talents ...

... Flower Pot Rocks and without really thinking about it on the way down the 1km trek nearly straight up at a 90 degree angle on the way back nearly killed me. I am going to have calves of steel when I get home. We picnicked there and took our time since we had very lttle driving to do before hitting Moncton. We restocked at a local grocery store and repacked the coolers and drove around Moncton for a while. Moncton is a very quiet town - although it seems ...

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 ...

When we booked this trip earlier in the summer of 2006, we had no idea what would happen in early August: a bomb scare in a London airport, where the culprits were apparently planning to bring liquid explosives onto a plane. You know, the reason that we now have to put liquids in our carry-on luggage into containers no larger than 100ml, and put all of those containers in a clear plastic bag that holds no more than 1L ...

Everything is so quiet here in PEI. After shopping for souvenirs we headed off for the day. Stopping at our first maritime lighthouse, Dalvary, we stretched our legs. Along the drive we found Cavendish Beach, made famous in LM Montgomery's, Anne of Green Gables. We had discovered a lobster pound on the side of the road, and bought lunch...........1 pound lobster, freshly cooked and cracked, with drawn ...

Non Gratum Anus Rodentum That's latin for "not worth a rat's ass" and that is what describes any weather report in Newfoundland. After that miserable day in St.John's on Monday the weatherman called for more the same the next day. Wrong. It was overcast and cool in the morning but at exactly noon the clouds parted and the sun blistered down for the rest of the day. I went out to Cape Spear ...
