Giorno 16 – 28\/09\/2023 HALIFAX – BURNTCOAT HEAD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We continue our adventure in Canada, and before leaving Nova Scotia, we want to witness a truly unique phenomenon \u2014 the highest tides in the world: welcome to the Bay of Fundy<\/strong>. This place, famous for its towering tides<\/strong>, leaves us speechless and is a must-visit for anyone exploring Eastern Canada<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We leave Freddie, our van, in the convenient parking lot at the Burntcoat Head<\/strong> visitor center. It\u2019s said that the name comes from a word of the Mi\u2019kmaq people meaning \u201cbrown coast head,\u201d later adapted into English as \u201cBurntcoat Head.\u201d There are also various local legends about the area, which we found very intriguing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visitiamo il faro<\/strong> e non appena arriviamo in cima, ci accoglie una vista incredibile proprio sull’isolotto principale di questo luogo unico<\/strong>. La Baia di Fundy \u00e8 conosciuta per le sue straordinarie maree, pensate che ha il record di 17mt<\/strong> di altezza raggiunta dall’acqua! In 12 ore pi\u00f9 di 100 miliardi di tonnellate d’acqua entrano ed escono dalla baia. Noi siamo rimasti scioccati dalla velocit\u00e0 con cui questo succede, dal faro abbiamo visto la baia completamente secca dopo solo poche ore<\/strong> si \u00e8 completamente riempita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We captured some stunning footage from above with our drone \u2014 once again, the colors mesmerized us<\/strong> \u2014 and also filmed with a simple time-lapse the incredible and rapid arrival of the water<\/strong>. We highly recommend not missing these shots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also had a lot of fun witnessing the highest tides in the world at the Bay of Fundy. When the water recedes, the seabed becomes very slippery<\/strong>. Marianna ended up flying to the ground not once, but twice \u2014 which meant two pairs of pants full of red sand and mud<\/strong>. A real drama for those of us living the van life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re so impressed by this place and the chance to walk on the ocean floor that we decide to spend the night in the parking lot. We want to enjoy both the incoming and outgoing tides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Giorno 17 – 29\/09\/2023 HALIFAX – BURNTCOAT HEAD<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like the water, the next day arrives quickly. We wake up in a thick fog<\/strong> and are lucky enough to see Burntcoat Head from yet another breathtaking perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After lunch, we get back on the road, but just a few kilometers later we stop for a much-needed laundry! We take the opportunity to sample some local treats at the oldest general store in Canada \u2014 can you believe it first opened on 1839<\/strong>? Once the chores are done and after passing the time with board games at the Fit\u2019z Roy General Store<\/strong>, it\u2019s time to continue our journey. The colors of autumn are waiting for us!<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe World\u2019s Highest Tides: Exploring the Bay of Fundy - Burntcoat Head<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
