We had a nice sunny day today. Since we came into New Brunswick we had heard a lot about the Fundy Parkway we decided to take a day trip and check it out. We loved it. This park is privately owned and was officially open in 1998. The park is 11.6 kilometers and you can walk the entire park on its multi use trail- off the main trail are dozens of smaller trails leading to the beach, lookouts, a suspension bridge, and others. Our first hike was the waterfall it was short but- we have never seen or been on a cable ladder- it was kind of scary at first the ladder wiggles. I found it much easier to come back up then to go down- it was kinda steep.



These are some views we saw on the way into St Martins. The beach looks like there is nice white sand- very deceiving it is like river rock and very hard to walk on. Much prettier to view from a distance.







On our drive of about 100 miles today we passed several covered bridges mostly from the early 1920's to the mid 40's.

The sea caves was another interesting stop for us. Since neither one of us have ever been in a sea cave. It was kind of a weird feeling to be inside the cave knowing that in about 6 hours the entire cave will be under water. There were 3 caves to explore we did two of them because the water line was still pretty high and made it very difficult to get into the 3rd cave.
