Last Full Day in Fundy National Park

Rocks at Hopewell

           Last full day in Fundy.  What to do.  We decided to go to Hopewell Rocks.  They are very tall rocks, much like Flowerpot Island in Tobermory.  At low tide you can walk around the rocks and walk on the ocean floor.  As you walk around you can see how high the water comes up and the rocks become islands.  We walked around for an hour and took a million pictures.  All of a sudden it seemed like the place became packed.  It was impossible to take a picture without someone else in it.  I will refrain from my thoughts about the Asian tourist bus that dropped off seemingly 500 people as MP is sitting here telling me not to.

            Emily decided to venture down closer to the ocean and that proved a mistake as she got caught in the mud and couldn’t get out.  As far as I was concerned she was on her own, high tide was still 5 hours away.  However, Hannah went to her rescue and both ended up muddy as can be.  Apparently this is not uncommon as they have a place to clean your feet up top.

            After lunch we went on a small hike to a very beautiful waterfall.  We were all tired so decided to go into town and shop.  The kids bought books at a used book store in town and gemstones (or rocks) from some store.

            After dinner, we started to pack up.  It is a 5 hour drive to Rissers Beach, Nova Scotia so we want to be gone from here by 10 at the latest.  Famous last words.
