Sept 25 - 26 All the Saints - Martin, George, Andrew & Stephen

We visited several Saints - Mostly these are from St Martin.

Sept 23 - 24 Hopewell Rocks

Back in New Brunswick we passed through Moncton and went to Magnetic Hill.

Hopewell Rocks is where you can get a good look at the changing tides in the Fundy Basin.

 This is high tide

 This is low tide (just for reference the opening in the 2 balanced rocks below is 18 feet tall. Kayakers do go through at near high tide.

 The rock formations with vegetation on top are called flower pots

These are some shots at low tide of the mud flats which extend for a long distance to the side of the Hopewell Rocks

Sept 21 - 22 Charletown & Confederation Bridge

While in Charletown we visited the Red Shores Casino & Race Track which was holding a horse race that evening.

 The next day we crossed over the Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick.

We then headed back into Nova Scotia to Amherst where we had a great visit with my cousin Linda and her husband Ross and some of her family. We don't get a chance to see each other very often, with us living on the opposite sides of Canada.

Sept 17 - 20 Prince Edward Island Eastern and Central Coasts

 where we also found a couple kite surfers

 We finished off our day by enjoying a dinner at New Glasgow Lobster Supper

Sept 15 - 16 PEI and Murray River

After getting the slide fixed we crossed over to PEI and stayed at Murray River.

 The ferry/bridge to PEI runs like the Sunshine Coast Ferries you only pay one way and it is cheaper to take the ferry over and the Confederation Bridge back.

 I don't know if you can see them in this photo but there are mussel farms on the left hand side of the image.

Sept 16 Halifax and the Citadel

While our trailer slide motor was being replaced we visited Halifax and the Citadel

Sept 12 - 14 Grand Pre and Halls Harbour

We spent three days at a campsite on the Bay of Fundy at Grand Pre and visited much of the surrounding area including Canning, Kingsport, Wolfeville and Halls Harbour.

We visited the Grand Pre Winery. Many of the vines were covered to keep the birds away

 The Grand Pre National Historic Site tells of the Acadians and their forced departure for Nova Scotia by the British.

 This is the low tide view.

 Salt marches in the tital zone

 Shells in the tital mud

 Halls Harbour gives a better look at the height of the tides.

 Halls Harbour is also famous for its Lobster Pound and Restaurant. Of course I had to try one.

Sept 10 - 11 Shellburne, Bear River, Port Royal & Fort Anne

We visited Shellburne which was another quaint village which among other things featured a dory builder.

 In their spare time they made wind jigs.

As we continued to travel around the southern tip of Nova Scotia we stopped at Digby well known for the largest scallop fishing fleets. Of course we had to buy some fresh scallops and haddock.

Carrying on we stopped at Bear River, a very crafty community on the tital flow from the Bay of Fundy.

 In the Annapolis Royal Area are two fort historic sites Fort Anne

 and Port Royal

 Near Port Royal is this intersting barn with weather-vane
