Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada

Welcome to Canada! After an hour of the border security sending 5 officers through our entire rig and car, we were officially in Canada and ready to see what the eastern side of the country has to offer. We had a fairly short drive up from Maine, even with the inspection, to our camping spot a few miles outside of Saint John. Our park was located right on the Bay of Fundy and our views were fantastic. There is something amazing about waking up in the morning and looking out over the ocean. We were fortunate enough to be camping next to some great people that are now our newest friends. Thank you Denis and Stephanie for all of your help and insight into the area. We look forward to seeing you guys again in the future. Our visit took us into Saint John to tour the city and explore their city market, then we spent some time watching the water flow opposite directions at the reversing falls and our last day was spent doing a whale watching tour out of Saint Andrews where we saw many humpback whales playing and feeding on the herring. This area of Canada reminds us a lot of the Pacific Northwest. We had only a few days, but we already want to come back to stay longer. Fun fact on the Bay of Fundy. The bay has the largest tides in the world at 50 feet most of the time and up to 70 feet at the max. At the reversing falls, the water is 200 feet deep at the point where the whirlpools form. The water flows both directions over a waterfall and under the bridge. It is quite a sight to see.
