We decided to start our journey home by visiting some of our other favourite places in Nova Scotia, and drove across the middle of the province (in the rain) to the north shore along the Bay of Fundy, to Hall's Harbour. The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world, with two high and two low tides every twenty four hours. The water levels drop or rise twelve meters four times a day. The boats in the harbour end up sitting on the ocean floor at low tide, but when we arrived the tide was already starting to come back in... The docks and the boats float up and down with the tides.... It was too wet to take the dolls out for photos, so we continued northward along the Fundy shore... ...to Burntcoat head, where one can make their way down to the ocean floor around the island just offshore. But it was raining, and the tide was coming in, so we didn't venture down the muddy steps... But Bonnie and Jamie had wanted to see it anyways....

It is just amazing that even the rain does not mar the beauty of the land.

The fishing boats are securely tied to the wharfs, so they don't tip over. It takes six hours for the water level to go back up, and then six hours for it to go back down. Twice a day, every day. It would have been interesting to take a photo of the harbour at high tide, but it wasn't the best weather so we didn't hang around. Comments are closed.
