Wednesday 9 Oct<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today we are starting our way back to Toronto, but we still have a few sites to visit before leaving Canada by the end of the week. One place to visit that was on our bucket list are the sea stacks at Hopewell Cape<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For thousands of years, the massive tides of the Bay of Fundy have been patiently sculpting their masterpiece in Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick. With over twenty free-standing sea stacks peppered along two kilometres of shoreline, we had to see some of these icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just when you think you\u2019ve seen it all, we waited just an hour as the ocean floor transforms in ways you wouldn\u2019t have believed possible. We arrived before 2 PM, the low tide today was a 11:14 and high tide (with a difference off more than 10 meters today) would be at 17:14. You can see the transformation of the ocean floor on the images below. These were taken between 2 PM and an hour later.<\/p>\n\n\n

We were impressed with the speed the tide came in, we walked beside the rocks and an hour later there was at least 2 meter water where we stood before. We made our way to our hotel for the night where we had another card game that Janet and Brian taught us the day before \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday 10 Oct<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we will be doing over 1500 Km to get back to Smithville we left early to cover the first 465 Km. However, we will never forego an opportunity to visit a signposted look out (called look off here in Canada) to see more of this beautiful part of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n

We stopped to take a picture of one of the many light houses along the coast and covered bridge. New Brunswick\u2019s covered bridges are living records of times past. A covered bridge is a timber-truss bridge with a roof and siding. These coverings extend the bridge\u2019s lifespan by shielding it from the worst the Canadian winter can throw at it, and they were once an integral part of life in New Brunswick communities. You can still find these structures in most areas of the province \u2013 nearly 60 of them \u2013 but Kings County, in the Sussex area, is the Covered Bridge Capital of Atlantic Canada. As we were close to Sussex this warranted a stop for quick picture or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
