Aug 7 Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick

Weather Hot? Yes the hottest out here yet 85+ We had to put the A/C on in the motorhome.

We moved to Hopewell area to a waterfront campground called Ponderosa Pines, we have to pull into the waterfront site then back out when we are ready to leave.  We actually have the best sites in the campground!
This area is known for the largest tides in the world,  it can be up to 46 feet.  Currently the day we visited Hopewell Rocks the tide was about 39 feet.  When the tide goes out it leaves rock formations visible which you can walk around and under - 3 hours before and after low tide.   This was the busiest tourist place we have been out here!  Kind of amazing - actually it is truly amazing!!!  The Flower Pot formation has trees growing on top, and when the tide is high it looks like a little island.

Aug 4 - 6 Annapolis Royal, Digby, Nova Scotia

Weather  10 degrees cooler at our campsite which was right on the Bay of Fundy - 85 down to 75, cool at night and foggy in the a.m.

Our campground Ocean Cove at Parker's Cove had the nicest view right on the edge of the water.  The sites were tiered so each row had an unobstructed view.  Only negative was the price was so much more than we have ever paid anywhere in the last year, $74 a night.... but what a view.  We sat a couple of days just in our lawn chairs and watched the tide go in and out and enjoyed the sunset.

There was a wharf right next to us and the tide would actually drop about 25 feet and put the boats right on bottom and then in 6 hours the water would be back up, simply amazing to watch.

We took a ride down to Digby which has the largest scallop fleet anywhere,  nice little fishing town and we did try the local seafood which has been great everywhere on the east coast.

Scallop boats along the far pier, lots of sailboats in the centre docks.
