We headed for the ferry in the moonlight and the glimpses of ocean looked spectacular. Thankfully there weren’t any Moose or Deer to glimpse in fact the only glimpse we have had was of a doe nonchalantly grazing on the side of the road a few days ago. In any case this is a view of the sunrise from the ferry terminal at Digby



And one across the traffic as we lined up to get on the ferry. Note the moon is still visible over the cliff top



Approaching Saint John and the sun is shining and looking good for a ride



Heading in search of a lighthouse on the coastal route we spotted this quirky little shed on the way into Chance Harbour and by the time we turned around the sky was getting grey and threatening



And this was the view across Chance Harbour



Since rain is supposed to be on the cards for tomorrow and we were in relatively early we decided to explore the town this afternoon in case we missed the chance for taking photos in the morning and we found a lighthouse after riding in and out of bays and coves on the way where there was supposed to be an elusive lighthouse…unless it was the Cove trail!



HMS Transportation Building. They have limousines and stretch limousines (most of which have ‘For Sale’ signs on them) and all sorts of other bits and pieces as well as an awesome old workshop but shut up this afternoon



A main street view in St Andrews



A pretty quirky mural on the side street to the wharf



Looking from the wharf back to the town

Last night’s Accommodation:



Garrison House Inn
350 St George Street
Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada B0S 1A0

An absolutely charming little Inn lovingly maintained and decorated and topped off by a lovely warm welcome by our hosts. We had a spacious room on the first floor with a comfortable bed and our own bathroom. There is a bar and restaurant on site and the food for dinner was delicious and it was good to see a good number of meals being served. There is also a lovely closed in veranda area which would be ideal in hot weather. Breakfast was included but we had an early ferry trip so our host supplied us with some delicious muffins and bananas to take with us to fill the gap which we were grateful of and they were also delicious. Room to park out back out of sight. Good value for money.
