Hopewell Rocks, NB
Although I view this blog as more monologue than travelogue, I think this is worth mentioning. The Bay of Fundy has 40 foot tides in this area of New Brunswick, and Hopewell Rocks is a real natural phenomenon and tourist draw. It was recommended to us by the Good Dad from our last RV place.
These pictures were taken at the Alma Marina at low tide, where the lobster boats are fitted with metal stands attached to their bows, so that they will remain upright when the tide goes out. They claim the highest tides in the world, and I was impressed.
Nevertheless, we passed on Hopewell Rocks itself, where the tourists can walk among some really unusual rock formations that are covered at high tide. Somehow, the idea of walking on a muddy bay bottom in the rain to see some rocks that I can appreciate equally on a postcard wasn’t a grabber.
