Before mouthing into the bay, the St. John River runs through a narrow gorge which reverses the flow of the river at high tide. The Reversing Falls are a spectacular natural wonder.<\/p>\n\n<p>In downtown there are some things to see, the City Market und St. James Square, for example. Strolling through the town offers lots of surprising insights and outlooks.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the surrounding areas there are some special places, like Geopark, Irving National Park and Rockwood Park.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>My opinion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>We camped at Rockwood Park with a wonderful view of the not so wonderful city. Nevertheless I was so fascinated by St. John that I stayed for another day.

To my great surprise this didn&#8217;t mean that the campground was open in April. It also didn&#8217;t mean that it was open in May.<\/p>\n\n<p>I made several phone calls, but all the campgrounds in the area were still closed. A gentleman asked me in which direction I was travelling. To Toronto. So he recommended Rockwood in Saint John, only 200 km from Amherst, and in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n<p>Well, concerning the direction, it was actually a detour, but as soon as I arrived in Rockwood, I realized that this was love at first sight. Therefore I paid for two nights. Even if St. John had not been interesting &#8211; which was not true at all! &#8211; there were the wood and the lakes of Rockwood &#8230; I just HAD to go hiking!<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition the young lady at the front desk taught me all the necessary camping vocabulary. I told her that this was my first day at a campground in Canada, and she explained everything to me &#8211; with the usual friendliness and patience. Full hook-up, sewing and so on. Now we are camping literate! Even one of the valves I had brought from Austria for Annie Way&#8217;s drinking water hose fit! So she got her drinking water tank filled up with 100 litres. And me, I finally had my own washroom back!<\/p>\n\n<p>Rockwood turned out to be a beautiful wood with some lakes.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04602-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04602-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04602-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04602-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04602-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04602-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04602-1-850x567.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rockwood Park St. John<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2034\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04604-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04604-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04604-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04604-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04604-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04604-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04604-850x567.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rockwood Park St. John<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2038\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04613-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04613-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04613-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04613-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04613-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04613-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.hellofromthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC04613-850x567.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rockwood Park St. John<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p>I love Canadian geese. Not only because they keep crossing the sky flying formation and cackling as soon as my camera is in my backbag. Long ago in Ohio I had an apartment close to a lake where in spring Canadian geese were brooding. On my way to my apartment I came close to them. The ganders certainly wanted to defend their territories, which I understood, but otherwise I had to go a long detour. A Canadian gander can look tall and threatening when he &#8211; belly in, chest out, head forward &#8211; runs towards you, cackling dangerously. It took two weeks till I had enough of that. I went towards the first gander &#8211; belly in, jest out, head forward -, and guess what! He turned round and ran away. Many years later a man, two metres tall, threatened me with a knife. At that moment I remembered the Canadian geese. Belly in, jest out and so on. Guess what! Two seconds later the man ran for his life. Seems I look scary. But I love Canadian geese. They taught me an important lesson. And they spend their wholes lives with their partners. That&#8217;s romantic.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
