Exploring The Bay of Fundy






Day 6: 16.07.09
Our third day in the Bay of Fundy! This morning we slept in until late and then enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast of bacon & eggs. It was a little overcast so we decided to take a drive to nearby Cape Enrage to check out the lighthouse there. After a little look around, we had morning tea before heading back into town for clams and chips for lunch. A short rest back at our van was followed by a walk along a hiking trail to Matthew’s Head where the vista of the Bay was breathtaking. We had to bribe the kids with ice creams afterwards if they didn’t complain – this seemed to do the trick. In fact, it would appear that they actually enjoyed the experience. (Not that they’d be prepared to admit it. Tonight was pretty quiet with dinner in. We pack early tomorrow morning and leave for Prince Edward Island.



These photos were taken by Max during our hike to Matthew's Head.As you can see the coastline is quite spectacular. Closer up, the wildlife is pretty extraordinary too. have a look at this giant yeallow mushroom.
