The Cat/Nova Scotia
We bought muffins again and waited to get on the Cat. Many cars, buses and walkons were right along with us. We found us good seats with a table in the middle of the catamaran. After 3 1/2 hr. we arrived in Yarmouth, N.S. We followed Rt. 1 up the coast to Digby Neck, a peninsula with 2 islands sticking out into the Bay of Fundy. It took us a long time to drive to the end of the peninsula, then caught a ferry to Long Island, then another ferry to Brier Island. We had made reservations at the Brier Island Lodge. This is an lobstering island, everything seemed to be old. Because we didn't get there until 7:00 we didn't have time to check out any trails. We did some blogging with our wine and then turned in early. Today we were up early but you couldn't see past your nose. The fog was so thick! We were going on a whale watching tour but they didn't go out until noon because of the fog and we didn't want to waste the rest of the day. We did drive down a gravel road to the lighthouse, parked, then walked to Seal Cove. By the time we got there the seals had gone back to the sea to feed. We walked down to the Balancing Rock. The trail had a boardwalk over the bog and 235 STEPS down to the water. That wasn't bad until we had to go back up those 235 STEPS. It was almost to foggy to see much of anything when we got there. We did all of the ferries again and ended up in Digby, N.S. where we had a late lunch. The haddock was the best piece of fish that we've had so far. We drove on the Anapolis Royal and found us a room. lWe wanted to be close to where we will walk tomorrow.
