Today, we drove in Northwest of Nova Scotia in the area known as the Annapolis River area. First, we toured the Historic Gardens in Annapolis Royal. The gardens were very well done; they had a great rose garden section. I have shown only a few of the pictures.
Second, we visited Fort Anne, also in Annapolis Royal. The fort dates back to the 1600's. The town was the early colonial capital for the French and British. You can see in the picture the cannons of the fort and the tidal waters of the Annapolis River flowing into the Fundy Bay.
Our last stop of the day was in Digby, known for its scallops. We wanted scallops for lunch and were told by one of the locals that The Royal Fundy Fish Market was a good place for lunch. We walked in a little before 1:00, ordered scallops, left at 2:15 and were never served. Waiting over an hour for lunch is ridiculous, so we left. The second place we stopped featured a special on scallops, but only if you ordered deep fried, so we left there too. We finally had lunch at our third choice and the scallops were very good. By the time lunch was finished it was 3:30 and time to drive back to our RV.
Tomorrow we pick up our friends Dave & Ruth Buck at the Halifax airport. They will be traveling with us to Newfoundland for the next three weeks.
