We stayed the night in Barrington, NS which is the lobster capital of Canada. So, while in Barrington, we did as the locals do . . . . we ate pizza!
We stayed at a B&B in Barrington called the Stagecoach Inn. It was an old house which had been renovated and the rooms done in a theme. Ronna and I stayed in Fisherman's Cove and Alan and Janet had the Saloon Room. The rooms were very creatively decorated.
We departed Barrington and headed for Cape Sable Island. The island had a large number of homes on it and a lot of commercial businesses related to the fishing industry (probably lobster).
After Cape Sable, we traveled on to Yarmouth and then Digby. At Yarmouth, you can catch a ferry to Bar Harbor or Portland, ME. The Digby ferry will take you across to St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. Both Yarmouth and Digby are unique little harbor towns.
We ended the day at Wolfville. We stayed at a B&B called the Ginger Bread House Inn (hey, don't laugh - it was the women's idea). Wolfville is situated on the Bay of Fundy/Minas Basin.
The Bay of Fundy has the largest tide differential in the world, about forty feet. We went down to the old harbor of town to check out the tides and it looked like one big mud hole! When we returned about an hour and a half later, it was filling with water at a rapid rate.
We ate dinner downtown at a sidewalk cafe.
