Behind me is a small river - at the right time of day you can watch a tidal bore - a wave that is formed when the tide comes in. Right now the tide is out so you can see the muddy bottom.
This is Hopewell Rocks. It's not that far a drive from Moncton. We came a bit late so we didn't see the full tidal flats, but the ticket we got was actually good for another day if we wanted to come back.
See where the people are walking?
Now it's gone!
This is a magnetic hill!
(actually it's an optical illusion that tends to separate people from their hard earned money)
We opted to spend our hard earned money on beavertails!
(not real tails of course - just deepfried dough with toppings. I like maple sugar. Yummy!)
This is Shediac - home to the biggest lobster I have ever seen!
Of course no trip would be complete without canons!
This is Fort Beausejour/Cumberland. Good placement and ingenious design - didn't quite work against the British, but it did do well against the Americans. Go Canada!
This is Confederation Bridge - it links New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
There isn't much of a view, it's long and once you cross to PEI you're trapped! (unless you have $50 for the toll)
PEI is a rather small island - we drove most of the coastline in a weekend. It can be very picturesque. Pretty Coastlines...
Small fishing villages...
windmills...
mussel farms...
potato fields...
beaches...
more beaches...
I highly recommend this one, this is Greenwich National Park and as you can see - we pretty much had the place to ourselves!
lighthouses...
At times you can think you're back in ontario...
until you see the fishing boat parked in the driveway...
People here also decorate their houses with stars - you can get any colour you want!
and of course you can't forget the seafood!
Fried Clams...
and of course lobster!
