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

<br><br>September 28, 2009<br><br>After another gourmet breakfast at &#8220;Candle Inn the Window B&amp;B&#8220;, we retraced our steps back to the New Brunswick border (approx 5 hours). Weather rainy and forecast not looking good. We stopped at the tourist centre and booked a B&amp;B near the &#8220;Hopewell Rocks&#8220; (renowned for low tide view of &#8220;flowerpot&#8220; rock formations. It is always difficult entering a new province - unfamiliar with the geography, unsure about ...

... valley from Edmundston to Woodstock N.B. and while this made traveling easier for us it caused great concern to the Garmins who had not been notified of this development. &#8220;Garmi&#8221;, as we have fondly come to know her, shrieked in a state of perpetual alarm as we appeared to her to be driving in the midst of some farmers&#8217; fields and through the depths of the Saint John River. Eventually she locked up entirely and refused to acknowledge ...

... 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 ...

... tent on the main street where there was some live music and a stand selling clam chowder, crab cakes, and some other stuff - not your typical street food. Also, there were some silly blow-up things in the street, i.e. a large inflatable can of beer. We went to a couple of cooking demos, walked around the waterfront, and then went to a farmers market, to a couple of vintage shops/boutiques, and to a bistro for dinner.

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 ...
