St John, New Brunswick

We have reached our final Canadian destination and just back from looking around St John. It is much larger and colder than our last two ports.
With our sea day we had a chance to rest and to party. We also had a stowaway or at least a hitch hiker for much of the trip

The town has many great old wooden houses and also wooden sculptures, Much of the town is very old but some has been rebuilt following a major fire in the 1800's

                                                           Pick the odd one out!

                                                        St John on a quiet Sunday morning.
We were able to get into the markets even though they were closed and they are the longest continuous markets in North America. The roof was done by the local shipwrights and resembles the keel of a wooden ship.

                             Gail in the markets..all these things and no one to buy them from!

   The Carton Martello Tower built for the war of 1812 but never used. One of a handful that remain.

Gail at the Reversing Rapids, one of just a few in the world. This region of Fundy Bay has the largest tidal range in the world and the rapids reverse with every tide.
