June 9, 2010 Wednesday Day 4




Here we are in the Atlantic time zone. It was a little weird last night, it didn't get dark until about 9:45 PM.
Headed out in the morning to do the Bay of Fundy Trail. Arrived with a dead camera battery and no camera bag. Dumb Huh. Thank goodness we were only a few miles away from the motorhome, so off we went back and retrieved what we needed. The trail is only 13 km long, but there is certainly plenty to see. If you are a "experienced" I mean a tri-athelete you probably could do it in about a week. Ha Ha. They lable it for bikes, hikers, and vehicles. Needless to say which we were. But, Dorothy did hike down 60 steps and 1/8 mile to get a picture of "Flower Pot Rock"; really fat and really out of shape but so worth it. Oh and had to climb back up.We took our time driving and enjoyed the views from all the lookouts, we never realized how huge the Bay of Fundy really is.
After we were done we went to the Caves Restaurant for lobster rolls for lunch, they were delicious.
After lunch we decided to venture out and try to find The Reversing Falls. We used our GPS which we have used all over the US and has never steered us wrong - well today was an exception it got us close, but we ended up in a ghetto. Found a man leaning against his car and wasn't too scary looking so we asked him for directions. We were close but on the wrong side of the town.
When we finally got there it is in front of a steam plant and is something to see; the falls run down stream and the tide comes up stream and they crash in the middle. Pretty amazing.
When we were done doing all that we needed a little down time so we headed back to the motorhome for some R & R. Now we are sitting watching the lobster boats waiting for the tide to be high enough to come into dock. I guess it will be off to the dock later to buy some more lobsters at $5 per pound who can resist.
Tomorrow we head out to Prince Edward Island.
