Our objective today was to visit the rock formations in Hopewell, NB. http://www.thehopewellrocks.ca/ We completed our objective, but along the way we visited Sussex, NB http://www.sussexdowntown.com/
Sussex bills itself as the Mural Capital of Atlantic Canada. A number of the buildings in this quaint little village have had beautiful murals painted on the exterior walls of its buildings. These murals depict events import to the history of Sussex. The artwork is very professional and a pleasure to view as one walks about town.
As we drove to Hopewell Rocks, we passed through Fundy National Park. http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/nb/fundy/index_e.asp The scenery through this large park is remarkable, particularly as you descend into the village of Alma. http://www.fundyweb.com/fundy/alma.html
The visit to The Hopewell Rocks was equally satisfying as viewing the murals in Sussex. http://www.reggie.net/photo.php?albid=125&ph=1151565
However, this time Mother Nature, not man, was the artist. Due to the extreme high and low tides in the Fundy Basin, the rocks can be viewed by watercraft during high tide, then at low tide, you can actually walk on the ocean floor at view and touch the rock formations.
We decided to spend the evening in Moncton, NB http://www.gomoncton.com/
at Camper’s City Campground. http://www.killamleisureliving.com/cc-ld/ Though located in a very urban area, Camper’s City is a well run and maintained facility.
Tomorrow we cross the Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island.
