After our short break in St. Martins, we stopped at Hopewell Rocks in the afternoon.
These rocks, often referred to as flowerpot rocks, stand between 40 – 70 feet tall. These rock formations have been caused by tidal erosion.
We got a family pass for two adults and two children for C$ 20 to get into the park. This photo was taken from above, obviously, and later we climbed down the stairs. The park ward told us there are 96 steps (round trip), which did not impress us much. We have more steps to climb up and down in our apartment building in Germany.

The view below is just as interesting. There are even more mushroom look-alikes along the side of the cliffs.

The ebb and tide leave the sea in a constant murky brown. This coloration I had only seen in floods before.

Here is a bit of information what makes the Fundy tides so special.

And yes, we heard of some dangerous encounters with moose on the road. Fortunately, we only heard about them and got to see the warning signs along the road. We did not spot a single one.

Now we are heading back to Halifax, where we originally started our road trip. We will be spending one night there before heading to Lunenburg for our final place to visit.
