Thursday, June 21st - 200 Miles
Today we slept in and then traveled to Saint John. In Saint John we checked out the Reversing Falls. The falls reverse twice a day when the tide comes in or out. Saint John is located in the Bay of Fundy which sees the largest tides in the world. We ate lunch overlooking the whirlpools of the falls, and the salmon was fantastic. When we left St. John we headed east towards St. Martin via the Fundy Coastal Drive. Along the way, we encountered quaint old churches, beautiful Canadian wild flowers, covered bridges, and breathtaking views of the Bay of Fundy. Once in St. Martin proper, we drove the 11 kilometer Fundy Trail Parkway, and saw more fabulous views from the numerous overlooks, including a gorgeous waterfall. There were however, some very scary steps to the water fall. The steps consisted of 4x4 posts with air craft cable run through them to make a half staircase half ladder contraption.
We then drove east to Moncton where we are staying for the night at the Country Inn and Suites, as the rain has continued on and off all day.
The Lesson today is that just because you have a map, doesn't mean you know where you are on the map.
