Once, twice, three? times in our lives


Most people visit Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick once in a lifetime.  For Chuck and myself, we’ve now been twice - lucky us.
Our first trip was 5 years ago and we stayed at a campground about 2KM down the road from the rocks.  It was a really nice experience and we walked on the ocean floor as it was low tide when we arrived that day.

Yesterday we returned, again at low tide and did a much faster visit to the ocean floor, partially because it was close to closing time at the attraction, but also because we had already been driving for over 4 hours and still had to get to the campground to set up.
It was somewhat our plan to return to the rocks this morning and kayak around the rocks at high tide, but the weather is not that great (cold and windy).  We’ll go back to get some photos from land to really get the full impact of the tidal range in this area (some say upwards to 40 feet in height difference).

After the Rocks we’ll head over to Nova Scotia and take a few days break from traveling before we head up to Cape Breton Island (part of Nova Scotia) and tour the Cabot Trail.
