East Coast 2010 - Grand Manan Island

After a run through the New Brunswick mainland and a quick trip to the Halifax area, we re-traced our steps back around the Bay of Fundy. An early morning ferry ride from Blacks Harbour escorted us to Grand Manan Island, where we would spend several days cliff camping at Hole in the Wall campground, aka Heaven on Earth.

We were favoured with mostly great weather, as we whiled away four days camping on a cliff over the ocean, watching whales, porpoises, seals and eagles and enjoying reading, home cooking and pure relaxation. Several times daily the coastal ferry passed under our watchful gaze from the cliff before rounding Swallow Tail Light to dock at the harbour.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.....
