Fundy National Park

I'm on the bus to PEI, after a great couple of days in/near Fundy. It's SO beautiful in the park. I explored beaches and then found a great hike on my first day. I'm pretty sure the hike was Herring Cove to Matthew's Point and back, of you happen to know the park. I camped at Wolfe Point Campground. The next morning, I packed up camp and drove 45 minutes to go see the flower pot rocks at the Hopewell Rocks. Sorry, no links from the bus. My plan was to stomp around on the sea floor at low tide, then come back at kayak at high tide. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty excited about that part. It was not to be. It POURED yesterday. It started overnight, before I went tot bed, but light enough that I stayed up and hour more with my fire and rain jacket. During the day was a different story. Even with my rain jacket and a hat, I was bedraggled by the time I saw the rocks at low tide. I tried to move kayaking up, which was not an option with people canceling with the rain. I was soaked enough that canceling was the only real option. I know it was the right thing to do, but I'm still really disappointed. I'm very pleased to be heading to PEI for the first time in my life, yet Fundy was great enough that I could have stayed there the rest of my trip.
