On the south shore

After a great sleep we headed back to the coast; driving back through Wolfville and Kentville again. We stayed on the old highway until Digby enjoying the slower pace and seeing many older houses of the type we love.

At Annapolis Royal we toured the fort and read up on all the history from that place. Very interesting!

The fort and area changed hands between the French and the English numerous times over the centuries.

This is a photo of a photo showing the fort at its zenith.

We decided it was time to get on the fast road so we headed first to Yarmouth where I enjoyed scallops and a local beer at a harbour front restaurant. Caro is still fighting something so has little or no appetite.

We picked a B+B way off the beaten track at Clark's Harbour. It is the southern most point of Nova Scotia and is a fishing community. The price is only about 1/2 what hotels are charging in the tourist zone and we have a relatively expensive place near Lunenburg tomorrow so decided to economize today.The lady here told us of a nice beach called The Hawk so we went for a visit. Very nice with soft white sand and lots of it!

Another great day
