After a wonderful week in Nova Scotia it was time to head east. My destination was Quebec but I stopped at a couple of interesting places on the way!
Joggins Fossil Cliffs
Joggins Fossil Cliffs is a set of beach cliffs famous for having fossils from the Coal Age (pre-dinosaurs, ~310 million years ago).
Walking around the beach one can stumble upon some cool fossils, although it’s illegal to take any of them back home. The tour guide had a great sense of humor, which he said had to do with him preparing dad jokes for the arrival of his new kid. The most memorable joke: “Coal is created when there is a lot of heat and pressure, kind of like marriage!”
Hopewell Rocks
After seeing some old rocks, I drove to see some newer rocks. Hopewell Rocks are located on the Bay of Fundy (the one with the really high tides) and are a set of rock formations caused by tidal erosion.
Giant Lobster
My final stop on the way to Quebec was The World’s Largest Lobster, a statue built in 1990 as a tribute to Shediac’s lobster fishing industry. The statue is made of concrete and steel, though its title is fake news: the world’s actual largest lobster statue is the Big Lobster in Australia.
After the lobster I continued on with my drive to Quebec City. Stay tuned!
