We got away from PEI early today because we had some miles to travel. First, we dropped Madeline off with her friend just north of Moncton. Then, we carried on to the Hopewell Rocks. Of course, we ended up going the wrong direction for about 10 miles. But we got there.
This is an amazing place. A zillion people there. It's about a 15-minute walk down a nicely groomed trail and then down a steep stairway to get to the ocean floor. When the tide is out, you can walk among these weird rock formations. It's quite dramatic, but very muddy. We didn't stay for high tide because it meant a wait of several hours and we wanted to move along.
About 40 miles on, we drove up a small mountain road to Cape Enrage. It's a working lighthouse station manned by university students. They offer rappelling workshops and rock climbing. We didn't do that, but they have a magnificent view. We also climbed up into the lighthouse.
Then, we got to Alma, which is just at the entrance to Fundy National Park. We stayed in a cabin high on a hill overlooking the town and the ocean. Lobstering is big here. You can buy a cooked lobster for 9 bucks and take it out to the beach and eat it. We opted for a restaurant.
