Saint John

New Brunswick, not Virgin Islands. A beautiful sunny day (mid 70's). We had Belgian waffles to start the day then a tour of the downtown area. We were docked near the town, so we made several trips back to the ship during the day. The Port Security officers were unusually personable. Richard offered one his ship pass so that he could go to the buffet in exchange for the officer's uniform. On our last trip we brought him cookies from the buffet.

We walked about 2 miles from the ship to the Reversing Falls which are caused by the rising and falling tides in the Bay of Fundy. Pretty cool stuff. Taxiied back and had a cold beer on the dock before returning to the ship. We enjoyed the sailaway from the balcony and then had dinner on the 15th floor buffet. A pretty unmemorable city, but a great day!
