After 4 incredible months in Atlantic Canada, it's time for us to head back to the US! But before we crossed the border, we had one final spot we wanted to explore: Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada's oldest incorporated city. We explored its historic streets, ate our way through the city market, checked out a unique phenomenon, and more!

Thank you both for your loving and full of care tour of a part of my country. You did us good and for that I'm thankful. My wife does not watch online videos, period. I caught her watching your back catalogue the other day. That is an impressive accomplishment.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That means a lot to us! Thank you!

[@lorirouleau4303]

Loved the series guys. We're heading from Maine to do the Cabot trail the beginning of September and can't wait. Thanks for showing us so much beauty!

So glad you guys enjoyed your visit to Atlantic Canada as a Newfoundlander who have done a little travel in the area I've learned so much about the area from your videos I want to revisit them. Looking forward to seeing your future videos , take care.

You did a marvelous job showcasing our Atlantic provinces! Thank you for your respectful and knowledgeable content. I learned a lot and I am from Nova Scotia. Bravo! And bon voyage!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@steveleonard5206]

What a wonderful series. Clearly there was tons of research into the areas you were visiting. The agent we had crossing into Maine at the end of September asked none of the usual questions, but wanted to talk about our small dog and visiting Newfoundland. Good luck with your next adventure.

[@OHANA-Beach-Suites-CDO]

AWESOME! ON TO MORE ADVENTURES! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Amazing photography! Some of the finest I've seen on KZbin. And what a great presentation on Saint John.

Hello Adventurers 😎😎, that Market in Saint John reminds me of Charleston Market in Charleston, SC. Really Cool Place. I cant wait to see what's Next! Awesome Video!

[@bigjimslade6250]

We’ve followed you guys for a long time (since New River Gorge & Red River Gorge SP) & I must say that this trip to the Canadian Atlantic Provinces has been our favorite. Such beautiful scenery & great places. Keep up the good work.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you and thanks for sticking with us! It means a lot!

Dulce is is one of my favs. I grew up on it very good for you

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! You too!

[@johnt8636]

A few years ago, my wife & I were camping in Fundy National Park. My parents, since my dad was from St John, insisted we go to the market and pick them up some particular cheese, a pound of it. And it stunk...lol. While strolling around we picked up a pan of brownies from one of the vendors. That evening, back at our campsite and after a delicious steak over the fire dinner, we each had a brownie. Then another. Yes, we ate them all. The next morning it was back to St. John and another pan of brownies. Absolutely the best brownies we've ever had...lol. Yeah,. before my dad joined the navy in 1952, he worked on one of the harbor pilot boats. He asked another guy to take his shift so he could go to a dance with my mother-to-be, who he just started seeing. That night, around 3 in the morning, a ship T-bone the pilot boat, the bow of the ship crashing through the boat's hull right where my dad's bunk was, killing the guy who took his place as he slept.

[@Shawnsboostedgarage]

Thanks for stopping in to my home town of Saint John!

[@myjourneysinfaith]

Yay glad you got home to usa safely. Canada looks amazing

[@LowLightMike]

Excellence: That's what you produce. I've enjoyed the Atlantic Canada series very much, and I learned a lot about the east coast of Canada (I'm a Canadian west-coaster).

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you!

Happy Holidays A+K ❄️ Can’t wait to see which continent y’all will be in! Sending much love from Florida 🌴

Yes Them borders 🇺🇸 can be tough😮..welcome back. 🙏🏽 #canada is very nice.

[@Hoovie9596]

I was SURE you were going to visit St Andrew’s in this last video. That’s the only jewel of the Atlantic provinces you missed out on. It’s right by the Maine border. Next time for sure ! Highly recommended!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We heard mixed things about it to be honest. We’ll have to check it out for ourselves next time! Thanks!

[@2k21golf7]

Great video, we moved to Saint John alm 2:25 ost 2 years ago from Ontario, Truly loved all your descriptions of the city and going to try the dulse for sure now, Safe travels, now following your channel, Thanks

[@jpadicecoffee9812]

I'm up for coffee and all that food, where ever I'm traveling. Good bokeh on this video shot. Thanks for sharing those recap shots of canyons and cliff in New Brunswick... One of these days, I'll get my car from western coast to St. John's.

[@steveroadsalt]

Who knew eastern Canada was so amazing? I live in Minnesota so I’m a lot closer to Canada and need to spend more time there. Thanks again for all the cool videos, everything look so beautiful as you film it. The song at the end almost made me stand up and salute the TV😂 Cheers!

Great job documenting Atlantic Canada and sharing it all with us! Oh I hope you’re headed to Iceland next…or soon. 😍❄️🥶 I’ll be watching no matter what it is 😁😃

When I saw you were going to Saint John, I was hoping you would go to the city market and try dulse. As a native New Brunswicker, Thank you for showing off the Maritimes to the world.

You're probably already back in TExas, wishing you a warm and cozy Christmas.

Sad to see you go but enjoyed every little nugget of your Atlantic Canada road trip. I grew up in the Maritimes but embarrassed to say I've never been to Saint John. I'll be sure to stop there next time I drive east from Toronto.

You help me to plan my trip in my own country! Thank you. Hope to see you in Quebec soon ;)

Sorry to see this series end; but, looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks for showcasing our beautiful Atlantic provinces!! How did Kona like the snow? It's hard to keep our 2 pups in the house after a snow fall. All they want to do is be outside playing in the snow.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Kona LOVES the snow! She hasn't seen much of it in her life, but when she gets to see it she loves it! Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@robertkelsow-geall7395]

VERY well done you guys. You've done the maritimes proud.

[@williamdemerchant7295]

From an adventure video standpoint I think that their visit timing was perfect for Atlantic Canada. I live in New Brunswick, and our weather was much warmer than normal in October. However, on the 29th of the month things got significantly colder. I'm assuming that they likely crossed into the US around Halloween. I enjoyed following A+K on their trip through our region.

[@dougwaites869]

You can bring most anything back to the USA by way of groceries. We shop in St john on a regular basis.

[@jazziered142]

Canada is such a beautiful country.

[@EmmaBadOne]

haha watching someone try Dulce for the first time. I grew up in toronto with much family in Digby NS. We often had big garbage bags of the stuff in the freezer.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It was an interesting flavor! Thanks for watching!

[@EmmaBadOne]

@@AdventuresofAplusK Indeed, it is. Choc full of Iron. It's basically iron and salt, and sometimes crunch, sometimes not. Great vid! Im looking forward to spending time in Saint John later this month. For me, the ferry across to Digby is as good as any part of the trip.

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Adventurers😎😎, Yeah there's snow on the van and you wanna GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE😊😊😊. I can't blame you ADAM with all that snow on top of the van.

We visited St. John and visited a lot of the same spots. I just ran out of Dulse, guess we need to go back.

Thanks for allowing me to discover a part of my country I don’t know well enough (just did Cape Breton in September though). What’s your next trip? There’s plenty to visit here in Ontario and in Quebec where I’m from.
