ROAD TRIP TO CANADA'S EAST COAST - New Brunswick - Part 1

in new-brunswick •  8 years ago 

Exploring and travelling East of Canada by road is gratifying and satisfying. My aim is to experience the world's second largest country at the ground level with my dear partner in life, best friend, and wife Bella. Below photo is the world's longest wooden covered bridge connecting the charming little town of Hartland, New Brunswick.

Alma, NB is fishing town mainly relying on lobster and scallop fishing. Village of Alma boasts the highest tides in the world, the bay of Fundy.

Grand Falls, New Brunswick. The town derives its name from a waterfall created by a series of rock ledges over which the river drops 23 meters. Below is the Grand Falls, very loud water sound and above the falls is a zipline. Too scared to try the zipline mainly due to the water's noise level and rough raging river.

Edmundston, New Brunswick. Small city, small population, and very charming place. People here are bilingual, English and French.

Petit-Sault Blockhouse, Edmundston, NB. Built by the British army in 1841, this small fort was part of a defensive line that extended as far as Quebec, a strategic position to protect the territory at the height of the boundary dispute between England and the United States. That conflict, also known as the “Aroostook Bloodless War,” ended in 1842. Destroyed by lightning in 1855, the blockhouse was rebuilt in 2000 in accordance with original specifications.
