| Cape Split & Bay of Fundy Nova Scotia |
| Aug 4, 2001 (Saturday) We arrive in Halifax around noon, and we pick up our rental. A 2001 White Oldsmobile Intrigue, which actually turned out to be okay. We immediately drove northwards toward the Bay of Fundy, a place where the tides are the highest in the world. We stop near Wolfville, and head for a place called Cape Split and it's supposed to have an awesome view. (It does). After 16 kilometre hike through the woods, this is what we see... |

| Cape Split is between the Minas Basin and the Bay of Fundy, and we're standing a couple of hundred feet above the water. Being afraid of heights, I naturally sit right out on the edge, but I don't recommend it. It's supposed to be pretty dangerous on the edge as erosion has weakened the cliffs. The actual point is "split" from the peninsula due to the tidal action. |
| This is me taking a rest, about 2 minutes away from the most amazing view. |
| Yeah, but what about the tides... |

 |
| Well, no pictures of tides as they're not much to take pictures of, but here's some boats that several hours ago were floating on the water. |

| Here's the TIDAL FLATS at Five Islands Provincial Park near Parrsboro. I ran into a couple digging for clams, and they were kind enough to let me borrow their shovel. Pretty simple, you look for air holes, and take a really big scoop, and BAM...you have a clam!!! |
