The Fundy area boasts the world's greatest tidal variations and so our exploration of this area is a tale of two tides.
The low tides recede far away from the coast revealing sand and rock stretching into the distance.
The high tides fill the beaches and bays with the overflowing fullness reminiscent of king tides back home.
Little did we know that we were arriving in Canada's New Brunswick Province during the New Brunswick Day long weekend.
Not to worry - we still managed to snag campsites side by side with the Walshes for two nights.
Together we checked out the Shiphaven hike both at low and high tide over separate days, and the Point Wolfe Beach hike, at low tide only.
The trailheads for these were beside a covered bridge which was once part of an extensive logging operation in the area.
Not wanting to wipe out part of Canada's historical record, we parked our RVs a few hundred metres away and walked to the start rather than attempting to drive through them.
On our second day in Fundy, we took the kids along the Dickson Falls hike, a very pretty track mostly along boardwalks running above a moss-laden stream.
Peta and I had gone for an early morning saunter on Whitetail hike which went from our first campground up and over some forested ridgelines and down to the playground and return.
The playground and soccer field was a major hit; especially the flying fox which all of them had multiple goes on - even Dash!
And the seafood tour continued with lobster tails and trout on the BBQ.
