- The final installment of our Eastern Canada Road Trip. After crossing the Confederation Bridge from PEI to New Brunswick, we checked out the World's Largest Lobster, saw a 23 year newer version of our camper van, and explored the Hopewell Rocks in the home of the highest tides on Earth, the Bay of Fundy.
My wife and I are traveling with Globus Tours to Nova Scotia. We are retired, and in our 60s, from North Carolina, US, so this is a bit of a journey for us. Will fly to Halifax. One of our destinations is Hopewll Rocks. I am a kid at heart, so hope to explore everything. I will bring some old shoes! Oh, and we are taking the ViaRail to Montreal. Then flying home. We already did ViaRail from Toronto to Jasper last summer. We like Canada, all except for Customs, but even they were friendly. Appreciate this video!
I watch many rv channels, has I'm preparing for a North American tour on a rv that I'm building right now. From my experience of what I'm watching, your channel is the most educated channel, were you explain your experience and take the time to knowledge your selves about the places you are visiting to letting us know what you have learned. Very cool way for us to look and learn without doing any research. You guys may want to look into traveling full-time and keep doing videos about your experiences in comparison of what it is. Cheers and thanks again gor taking us with you on this journey.
+Gaetan Giroux
Thanks so much for your kind words Gaetan. We very much appreciate your comment! Traveling full time would be incredible. I'm not sure how we would finance such a venture, but it's certainly worth looking into! Good luck on your own adventure, and please keep us updated on how your progress!
Very nice scenery, thanks for sharing the views.
I live in Manitoba and have only been to the west coast and back. Nice to learn about the east coast area.
Hi, I am Sue from New Brunswick. I live 2 &1/2 hrs inland from the Bay of Fundy. Thanks for visiting and filming our beautiful province. I hope you visit again. There are so many more places to see. Saint Andrews and ministers island are favorites of mine. Thanks for your video and sorry about losing the rest of it. Take care
Thanks fossilsue. We will visit again for sure, we loved your home province and we will be sure to check out the places you mentioned. :)
absolutely lovely video and desciption..
This was the first video of you're that I watched. I can trace my mother's fami!y to Miramichi, NB. My grandmother's tales of life in the Micmac villages were autobiographical. And, now, more than ever, I want to travel to see these rocks. Thank you, once again. As we approach your van-iversary, and your wedding, too, let me ask God',blessing for you both this July!💕🚐
Aside from the interesting subject matter, you are a very good narrator.
I watched all the 37 videos and I appreciate you both for sharing it with everyone, you are both awesome and very talented, I am sorry that you lost your camera, that must be hard but it must have happened for a reason! May be to return back to PEI and do another short trip, I would love to visit eastern Canada one day and spend a day by the ocean and I really enjoyed all your videos specially St.John’s, NS and NB ones, Thank you!!
I really love these narrated videos! This could very well serve as an audition reel for a Travel Channel series. Y'all could live in a van FOREVER and eat nothing but SPONSORED FOOD and hang with MINOR CELEBRITIES and....okay, I might have talked you out of it already. :)
Seriously, this is great. Totally professional, and I learn more about Canada than most people here in the US generally do. :)
+xingcat
Lol, you're far too kind xingcat! But we really appreciate the vote of confidence! We're really glad you've enjoyed our videos thus far. Thanks, as always, for your comments!
Thank you for taking us on an amazing journey - truly beautiful!
+The Paddy Wagon
Thanks for watching! We really did have an amazing time. :)
-Paula
Very nice scenery.
Makes me want to come and visit soon.
+Travels With Nunnehi
You should come visit!!! :)
-Paula
Hopewell Rocks is one of my kids favourite places to destroy some clothes and shoes.. When we were last there during the summer, there was at least one pillar that had collapsed within the last time we were there.. Glad ya'll got to experience it..
My first time watching your channel. You have a gift for story telling. Very well put together. Thanks for sharing. Sorry about your camera.
Thoroughly enjoyed your "trip of a lifetime"' Great job on the videos, I watched everyone....and I guess, welcome home. :)
+Bob Bernowski
Thanks so much for joining us for the adventure Bob!
Our tour didn't stop at the Hopewell Rocks. We did see St. Johns and then down to St. Andrews by the sea. Really like your narrated videos. Anxious to see what your next adventures are going to be.
+Bacchus
Thanks for watching. I bet St. Andrews by the sea was beautiful.
-Paula
Totally awesome video series. You both have a great skill in shooting video and telling us your wonderful travels. I am totally awestruck with the beauty of Canada. Thank You.
+Matt Jungfleisch
Thanks so much Matt! We're really glad that you enjoyed the videos thus far! Thanks for watching, and for your comment!
Loved ur video!! I am currently in Toronto and making plans to travel all thru Canada with my Parents once my dad retires hopefully in the next 2 years!! I can't wait!!
One of the rocks fell over last march. Good video and narration.
Derrick and Paula, thank you for sharing. Derrick you do a great job of sharing the research and the daily content of your travels. Paula, you make the videos fun and happy, great attitude.I am sorry that you had lost your video content. The cam will be replaced with even a better garget. Whats next for your youtube content?
+Tim Ameser
Thanks so much Tim. Your comment is very thoughtful. Luckily, we've got a whole list of questions and requests from all of the comments, so we should have lots of topics for future "van life" videos. We'll just be a bit more stationary for the next little while.
beautiful spot, keep the great videos coming!
I loved walking around Hopewell Rock and staying at a B&B in Alma, watching the tide come in and out.
+Sher Thom
What a gorgeous and relaxing place, eh? We've not stayed at a true B&B together... perhaps something we should add to our list!
I definitely enjoyed sharing your adventure of a lifetime. It was fantastic and only whets my own appetite for my Down East Adventure. So sorry to hear about the loss of your video camera. Hopefully some good Samaritan will find and return same.
Even though I am from Nova Scotia originally I have to admit that in all my years returning down east I have never visited the Hopewell Rocks. It is definitely on my list of things to see.
Happy and Safe travels wherever they may take you. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
+ka1133
Thanks and thanks for watching. I know when you go you will love every minute of it. :)
-Paula
Nice very Nice,, Documentary..from Michigan USA..June-2-2020..11:53..PM
It's been a great ride along. I insist you figure out another trip soon.Thank you.
+CITAP1
lol, well ok, if you insist! :)
I live in the town of Riverview, about 40 km's from Hopewell Hill. There are many beautiful sights to see, and not all are on the main route 114. Explore, ask the locals, you'll find sights that aren't listed in the tourist guides. Not far from Hopewell is the town of Riverside Albert. Go to the lookout, take some time to see Cape Enrage and drive the coast to Fundy Park. Enjoy :)
A Great Series. We thoroughly enjoy it. That just sucks about your camera. :(
No pressure now to follow it up with something just as good. :) Rob and Lisa
+Life In Serenity
Thanks guys, we're really glad you enjoyed the adventure! We were pretty bummed about the camera, but even more so about the videos we lost on the memory card... Oh well, life goes on :)
Thumbs up 😀 what a great trip
+craig johnson
Thanks Craig! :)
i live in a place called Morecambe Bay.. it has 10 metre tides..and your video of Fundy has blown my mind
Epic road trip !!
Nice, I live in Manitoba and have only been to the west coast and back. Nice to hear about the east coast area.
Hi there, just wanted you both to know that i REALLY REALLY enjoyed being a part of your journey across Canada. PS: Sorry to hear about the loss of your camera.
+Keith B
Thanks Keith! We are happy you enjoyed it...thanks for joining us. We wish we could have taken a bit of a longer time traveling but we needed to get back to our works. :)
-Paula
In bad weather good face we usually say in Spanish when happens to lose a video camera during a memorable trip like yours.
You have such a talent for these travelvlogs, you guys should be hired by the Travel Channel!! Really enjoyed your series, and hope you continue with something more soon. Sorry about your camera loss - what a shame!!!
Best to you both!!!
Greg
+gac914
Wow, thanks for such a nice comment Greg. Working for a Travel Channel would be awesome.
All the best to you too. :)
-Paula
Very nice, I always learn a bunch of new things from your videos :) Sorry you lost your camera!!!
+Exploring Alternatives
Thanks guys. It just forced us to buy a camera that will be better for what we want to record. Things happen for a reason. :)
-Paula
I was speechless @ 6:50 I just can't imagine how that felt to lose your camera. Hopefully Santa finds a chimney to come down and bring you a new camera.
+Jeff Dale
It was pretty rough at the time. Losing the camera was hard to swallow, but losing the videos on the memory card was even worse. Oh well, life goes on... and we DO have a shiny new camera now to distract us ;)
Hopewell rocks are awesome there are also alot of hermit crabs there
I'm a bit sad that this series is over. I am eager to see where you head to next!
+fivetenonefourty
We were sad too when our trip ended and were also sad when we finished our trip videos. We had a fun time reliving the adventure with each new video. Not too sure what is next but that is kind of exciting too. :)
-Paula
Good narration!
+Dan Travels
Thanks Dan!
Thank you for this adventure, I found it to be quite informative and I feel like I know you two now. Sorry about the camera, that must have made you sick. Anyhow, thanks again and I wish you both a very Merry Christmas.
+larryz24
Thanks for joining us for the ride, Larry! It's funny, we've slowly began to feel like we know a lot of you just through the comments now as well :) Merry Christmas to you also!
Oh no! So sorry you lost your camera. All the more reason to come back and visit...if COVID ever goes away. FYI the elephant-shaped rock at Hopewell Rocks crumbled and fell a couple of years ago.
Great video guys sorry to hear about your camera
I literally was just at Shediac two weeks ago
great video, well done narration. sorry to hear about your camera
the hopewell rocks were awesome! and sorry about your camera :(
Wow. So sorry about your camera! Did you guys ever figure out what happened? Do you think someone stole it?
What's the name of the campground? Is it kid-friendly? Planning to visit Hopewell Rocks this summer.
No!! I've been wanting to come here, if you buy a new one, could you please go back ;-;
I live in New Brunswick
Well done! Sorry about the camera. But, it was a great success otherwise!
+Uncle Lar
Thanks Uncle Lar!
there is a rock you would probably like on your finger. shame about your camera. great video, tho. thank for sharing. you guys are great.
+michael adams
lol...yes, there is a rock on my finger that I absolutely adore. :) Thanks for watching Michael.
-Paula
very nice i hope you get an other camera .In about 4 years me and the little family are planing on doing that but we want to take it very easy very little kilometer a day and my wife is a registered nurce and she want to do that will we are on the road sound fun
+Pascal Fortin
Yes, we did get another camera...one that will do a better job cutting the wind noise. I bet you are counting down the days. I know you and your family will have fun for sure! :)
-Paula
thanx Paula our excursion will be on hold because a the nursing licence it goes from province to province so we will have to apply for a licence in every province we stop for a few week .I think we will do it here for a year or so and see how we like it I love your adventure keep on vanning
If your camera was stolen, know that there is always one rotten egg in any gathering. I hope it was insured.
bbbbooooooooorrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg
you have to have high tides in the Bay of Fundy after all you have a "55 ton Lobster " lurking there abouts! eh! Don't look at me strangely you know he is lurking about! eh!
+bill bye
Lol, you always make us laugh, Bill! I would NOT want to be in the water when that giant decided to swim by!
wanting has little to do with us wee ones it is what the large one wants to do! heehheheh!
I live 15 min from the rocks
That's awesome! You live in one heck of a gorgeous part of our country. Do you visit the rocks ever? Or do they just seem too touristy, since you live nearby?
A Guy. A Girl. And a Campervan I visit them a few times a year But tend to go to the countless other beautiful places in the bay of Fundy
Eventually the supports on those rocks are going to erode away and they will fall into the ocean
Don't you hate it?!? One angry whale ruins it for everyone.
PS - Sorry about the loss of your camera.
+John Norris
It's true... some bully always ends up ruining the fun. lol
Just get out and enjoy your own adventures. You don’t need anyone to tell you where to go.
moving to sheet harbour NS have class B camper for outings (view= sheetharbour dot org )
Dorks
wow.. your girlfriend is gorgeous
It is pronounced “fun-day”. If you say it “fun-dee” some people in the area might not know what you are talking about.
