Day 8 Canadian adventure....

I woke up this morning to a beautiful day in St John… After fog, rain & clouds, it was a welcome relief. My ferry to Nova Scotia didn't leave until noon so I just relaxed in the morning until I drove over to the ferry terminal. I got there about 2 hours early just to be sure that I would get a parking spot since I was leaving my car in St John. Frank & Barbara were picking me up in Digby, Nova Scotia on the other side. I made the best of my time while we waited and found several photo ops, including 2 lighthouses… very cool. The ferry ride of 3 hours was nice and the sail into Digby was breathtaking. The beautiful landscape, the shear cliffs and of course the lighthouses… Frank & Barbara were there when I arrived and Frank & I wore our pointed hats we got from Bangkok during the World Voyage… I think the locals were in shock! We spent the rest of the day seeing the magnificent sights of Digby and enjoying Frank & Barbara's beautiful cottage up on the hill overlooking the water. The most amazing thing here is seeing how the tides change up & down 40 feet each day, that is huge. As you can see from the photos, the harbor is set up for that with the poles to guide the docks up & down and the combo stairs/ramps that roll to adjust with the tidal levels… It is incredibly beautiful here and such a treat to see my friends Frank & Barbara…..
