High tide at Hopewell Rocks I decided to make a special post for our visit to Hopewell Rocks because the place is really unique. Not only by the peculiar nature and the stones of unique shapes, but by the best known aspect of the place, the biggest tidal change in the world. And I confess that it is almost hard to believe that the level of water and well say, the whole landscape, change so much in a matter of a few hours. Across the Bay of Fundy or Bay of Fundy, approximately every 6 hours there are many meters of water that go and then come back, creating low…

The starting point of our trip was Moncton, in the province of New Brunswick, canada’s only bilingual province. The city of Moncton is very organized and small with only 69,000 inhabitants in the city and just over 138,000 in the metropolitan region. And perhaps because it is small, the city itself does not offer a huge diversity of activities and tourist places, but we managed to make the most of the two and a half days we were there. Our flight was direct Ottawa-Moncton, whose airport is in the nearby town of Dieppe. All quiet, the girls behaved and landed just before noon there. We decided to visit Magnetic Hill…

The tour we took at the end of our mini trip was in the 1000 islands, beautiful area on the shores of the Saint Lawrence River, well the border between Canada and the United States. It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to take this tour and the weather couldn’t have been better, a super sun and moderate heat. The area is an archipelago with 1864 islands, some of a few square meters, others larger, some with only a few trees, others with castles. Two thirds of the islands are in Canada (province of Ontario) and the rest in the United States (State of New York). I searched the…

On our extended vacation tours, we spent the afternoon at Sandbanks Beach on Friday and chose to sleep in the city of Kingston (about 1am from Sandbanks), which we considered the middle of the way between Ottawa and Toronto. The option of hotels is much larger and was closer to the area of the 1000 Islands (thousand islands) where we wanted to take a tour as well. I rode up a map to visit some of Kingston’s sights, but gave no time for almost anything, the visit was lightning even The city, with just over 115,000 inhabitants, is home to one of Canada’s best-known universities, Queens University and has some…

Sandbanks – Outlet Beach Hey guys! Last weekend was feriadão and we took the Friday off to ride a 4-day mini-vacation. We combine with dear friends of Mississauga to enjoy a beach and take a walk through the region of Prince Edward County, Kingston and 1000 Islands, where there are several beautiful places. Today I’m going to tell you a little bit about the beach. We drove about 2h45min +stops, from Ottawa to Sandbanks, on the shores of Lake Ontario. Yes, if you thought the beach was saltwater was mistaken, the beach is lake, but no shame does not. The area offers several beaches, all within the Sandbanks Provincial Park.…
