Day 5 - St John New Brunswick

Today we visited the Bay of Fundy and the famous reversing rapids. The St John river flows into the Bay of Fundy here, but when the tide rises, the sea water level is higher than the river so the flow of the river reverses!  We took an early excursion so we would be here at high tide. In this video you can see the water flowing left to right, away from the Bay of Fundy.  The excursion itself was on a trolley that took us around town with a narrated history of the town.
Yesterday afternoon we had quite the sight out our window - a double rainbow!  And the lower rainbow was complete as we could see both ends dipping into the water. 

[Bagpiper]We had a surprise when we were ready to leave port today - a bagpiper showed up on the dock! He played quite a few songs including many popular numbers.  He played for about 30 minutes.

After dinner with Andy and Melissa we went to the Captain's cocktail party for frequent cruisers, and then saw the production show in the Princess Theater.
