Hopewell Rocks and Sussex New Brunswick.



Unfortunately it was raining the day
we visited Hopewell Rocks.
We came prepared with ponchos,
 and had fun, enjoying this 
amazing adventure.

 The rocks are located at the 
Bay of Fundy at Hopewell Cape.
"Home of the highest tides
 in the world".




My sister Carol took most of the photos 
with her waterproof camera.
I did take a few with my phone.
 Although, It was raining too
 hard to use the phone.



At low tide, tourists may visit the rocks.

We walked down and
 up the 100 plus steps.
( 3 sisters all over 70 yrs. old.)




My first view of the rocks
and the ocean floor.
We were fortunate to
 arrive at low tide.













At high tide, the water is up
 to the top of the rocks.








We weren't alone.
There was a guided tour happening.

hunting for rocks to paint, LOL
and she brought some home.
and me in the yellow, 
dripping with water.
It was pouring rain at this point.

I'd like to return in Sunshine.
Apparently miles of 
beautiful beaches to explore.










We rented part of a house in
 Sussex, New Brunswick.
A 160 yr. old house, very 
clean and well maintained.



 Inside.







Lots of room.



















The bedrooms each had
 tree names on the door.




Most of my photos are blurred in the house,
maybe it's because of *Witch Hazel?

My Room





We were comfortable here.
Stayed 3 nights.
We brought our food and
 had kitchen service.
I didn't get a photo of
 the large kitchen.
Very economical 
when the price is 
split between us.




*Witch Hazel is a shrub used in medicine for
 skin disorders and other health problems. 
 It's beautiful flowers blossom in Winter. 
 Indigenous to our Northern colder regions.



Sussex
I seem to be missing some photos
of this beautiful town.
Lots of beautiful shops, restaurants etc.







We were in walking distance to 
the Sussex Flea Market.
A flea market with over 800 vendors,  and 
lasts from Friday to Sunday each year, 
on the 3rd weekend of August.
We went for one day only. 
Surprisingly, we didn't buy much.
















Lots of food trucks.









Looks like we ate a lot.

























We didn't fill our carts, but
 didn't regret having them..
We didn't have to carry our water, 
lunch and purse while walking all day. 
We only covered about 1/2 of the market..


As most of you know, I love dishes.
One thing I did buy were
 these Victorian eggcups, 
used for hen and goose eggs. 
The can be inverted and each end used.
I will probably use them in
 an Easter decoration.




Sussex is home of the
 Iconic Barbours Company.
Tea, King Cole Tea, spices etc.










Lovely beaches along the way.












Shediac







Lots of Acadian settled here.



Flags
Canada, New Brunswick and Acadian

Shediac is known as the 
"lobster capital of the world".
