September 21 -Saint John, NB

Finally got to shore and we had booked the Hop on Hop off bus for the day. We rode the bus the entire loop to get an over view. We did stop at the Reversing Rapids. This is really amazing. The Bay of Fundy has such dramatic tides that the sea water rises above the level of the Saint John River and forces the water to flow upstream back inland. On the first bus loop, we saw the Rapids at high tide and the water was flowing from left the right in the following picture.

Had lunch at a restaurant near the City Market. We finally got our lobster rolls. Linda had a standard one and I had a lettuce wrap version. We then got back on the Hop on Hop off bus to the rapids to see low tide. The water is going from right to left in the picture below.

Looking forward to going to Halifax tomorrow to visit Peggy’s Cove and the famous lighthouse.
