St John feels like a fishing town and the tide here is a amazing. So they call it the reversing falls, but in reality its a reversing flow of water. Can you imagine a large river of water having its flow stopped and reversed such that it actually flows in reverse? That's what happens here. It's an amazing show of the power of tides.there some rapids and whirlpools that show.
Oh I didn't get a chance to go to it but there is a whirlpool near St. Johns. I also didn't walk in any caves here either which I wanted to, I must have missed the turn.
But the road to Hopewell is pretty with a few stretches along the coast. There is a beautiful park call Fundy Park that you could spend a lot if time in exploring. I alas passed through them.
I did try a lobster roll which wasn't that fantastic and clam chowder that was also mediocre.
At Hartwell Rocks it was amazing... Yes I am using that word a lot. You can walk along the beach and walk through and around these massive rock out croppings. And the tide here is huge. On average its a 12m vertical change and it can be upto a 16m change. The tide will rise by upto 2-6m an hour! When most tide changes around the world are measured in a couple of feet that makes this truly cool.
Also very common along here is covered bridges.
In Moncton I found a cool brewery pub called the PumpHouse which is worth checking out for the beer and the food. Plus it has the coolest draught dispenser, 2 fire hydrants!
