Saint John, spelled out thank you, is a pretty big town, maybe 70,000, which prides itself on being multi-cultural. We stumbled upon the Fundy Bay Festival, sipping drinks from an open-air café as we watched dancing and singing by members of the Sierre Leone Club of Saint John.
Leaving Saint John, we stopped at an overlook of the Reversing Falls, where the extremely strong tide of the Fundy Bay actually stops the flow of the Saint John River at high tide. We were there when the tide was slack, but we could still see the powerfull effect to the Fundy tide, said to be the most variable in the world, 48 feet from high to low in one part of the Bay.
We stayed in the Tara Manor Inn in St. Andrew’s, where we had a pleasant breakfast before leaving for Campobello Island. We understand that we have to take two ferries to get there.
