If you saw my last post, you might be wondering why there were no photos of the tides coming in at @thehopewellrocks ... so here they are! If you're just catching this, go to my profile and check out the before photos! This formation is called "Lover's Arch" .. you'll have to swipe right to see what happens when a couple gets too close to it! One of the other big attractions of Hopewell Rocks is the resident Peregrine Falcon family. I spotted one of the adults going to the nest. Because we were out of the Motel early, I needed one of my favourite @hornbyorganic bars to get me through the morning. The park has a great restaurant ... food was really good. We were to hungry for photos🤣🤣🤣 At the end of the day, we had dinner and ice cream at @wackywonderfulwaffles ... you've GOT to try this place. It's in Hillsborough, South of Moncton. @coachsandybatten and I ate our ice cream first and then we shared a BBQ chicken waffle sandwich for dinner. #roadtrip #willandsandy #willandsandysexcellentadventure #welcomenb #tourismnb #tourismnewbrunswick #vacationlife (at Hopewell Rocks, Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgVM1KZpDBR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@coachsandybatten and I spent an entire day at @thehopewellrocks Provincial Park. Situated at the end of the Bay of Fundy and between the mouths of Petitcodiac River and Demoiselle Creek, this is one of the best places to watch the famous Tides of Fundy rise and fall. I checked the ride tables to see that low tide was at 12:20pm and high tide at 6:19pm, so we arrived at 8:30 to watch the tide go out ... stayed for low tide and then watched the tide come all the way back in. That day, the tide measured 30 feet! The famous rock formations show the effects of the massive tides... the seaweed line is the average high tide, such also coincides with the narrow "waist" of the flowerpot rocks. The upper part of the waist shows where the highest tides have worn away at the sand conglomerate rocks. One of the big advantages to arriving so early .. it was less people-y 😁😍🙃😉 we were able to walk around and take in the sites without dodging other tourists. The Petitcodiac is known as the "Chocolate River" because of the unique colour of the mud. It was surreal walking through these massive rock structures and watching the water recede. Even better was standing still and feeling the water rise up our legs so quickly. All of the flowerpots are named. The last image is the famous "Elephant Rock", which unfortunately fell due to natural causes a few years ago. If you go to New Brunswick, this is a must-see. If you are deciding between Fundy and Hopewell, go here of you can only pick one. #roadtrip #willandsandy #willandsandysexcellentadventure #welcomenb #tourismnb #tourismnewbrunswick #vacationlife (at Hopewell Rocks, Nouveau-Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgVKkO9pyxO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last 1.5 days in PEI @coachsandybatten and I have finished up on @tourismpei, but not without a few stops. First was Orby Head in @peinationalpark .. featuring a stunning rock formation in the cliffs. The Double-Crested Cormorants are also making themselves at home here .. making a mess of the rocks at the same time. Then it was off to North Rustico Beach and Harbour for another selfie and a shot of the pier. Today, we had lunch at the @bluemusselcafe with friends .. check my story for photos of lunch and dessert. We had a great couple of hours chatting away. From there, we found the school my dad @ken.prentice attended 70 years ago! How cool is that? Another friend asked us to take a photo of the @discovercharlottetown sign .. here you go @frank7892 💞 Sadly, we had to leave this wonderful place and start our slow journey home. After a fair bit of rain, we made it to our hotel in New Brunswick and were treated to two spectacles .. a double rainbow 🌈 🌈 and some great colours in the clouds from sunset. #roadtrip #willandsandy #willandsandysexcellentadventure #welcomepei #tourismpei #vacationlife (at Prince Edward Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgNzA8SMATX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

End of Day 1 on PEI @coachsandybatten and I were chasing the sunset whilst following the North Coastal Scenic Route. North Cape was the perfect destination... stunning red sandstone cliffs, active clouds rolling by and a steady breeze blowing in from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. North Cape is known for its consistent and strong winds so its the ideal spot for a slew of wind-powered turbines. Did I mention the red cliffs? Swipe right! And wait until you see the sunset! #roadtrip #willandsandy #willandsandysexcellentadventure #welcomepei #tourismpei #vacationlife (at North Cape (Prince Edward Island)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgLUeMQs2Rr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 1 on Prince Edward Island @coachsandybatten and I made it to PEI ... after a quick stop at the @capejourimainnaturecentre to get some views of the impressive @confederationbridge Sandy has the wingspan of an Osprey .. I'm closer to a Great Blue Heron ... no birdbrain jokes 🤣🤣🤣 We stopped at the @welcomepei Tourism Centre to get a pic and some maps. First stop ... @cowsicecream 😋😁🍦 If you come to PEI, visit a Cows location... you won't be disappointed. We followed the North Coastal Scenic route to North Cape ... see my next post for pics of this gorgeous area. We stopped along the way at Seacow Pond ... this photogenic storm cloud is over a fishing boat .. you can zoom in or swipe to see my #SuperZoom image of the boat. #roadtrip #willandsandy #willandsandysexcellentadventure #welcomepei #tourismpei #vacationlife (at Prince Edward Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgLS0YNMfe-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
