After reaching Digby we headed to the end of Digby Neck, Brier Island. 60kms and 2 ferry rides later we reached Brier Island. WOW! The island is just 2 kms wide and 5 kms long but packed with views and vistas. Then went to find Steve's name sake at Seal Cove.
We drove to the Coast Guard Station at the remote corner of the island and hiked along the coastline trail to Seal Cove. This is definitely Steve's kind of vacation, he got to see the scenery and play in the rocks.
After our hike and picnic lunch we headed back to the other end of the island to Western Light, at the south western tip. Again WOW!
Today was the day that I saw what I expected NS to look like. The drive took us past many little fishing villages at high tide and then the tide was out on our way back. Really cool!
After leaving Digby Neck we headed to Bear River to see a tidel village on stilts. Not quite what we expected but the low tide showed us why the buildings were on stilts.
Returning to Digby we headed to Fundy Dockside for dinner. Scallops of course! They were very good. It was even better as we sat on the patio overlooking the Digby harbour. It was quite the maritime experience today.
We have now landed at Yarmouth in another "no-tell" motel. Not quite as nice as last night but fine.
