  • Annapolis Royal

    28 augusti 2022, Kanada ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    Annapolis Royal is the oldest/first settlement/town in Canada. It is rich with history- a lot of history that is not taught in school.
    Last night we had supper at a funky little restaurant called the Crow's Nest. Everyone was double and triple parked. I was concerned that we had blocked someone in but it was fine. We sat at a table looking out to the parking lot, so part of our entertainment was watching to see how this problem was dealt with. It was all pretty calm and noone was blocked in for long.
    After supper we took a stroll along the shore and the sunset was quite spectacular.
    Our B&B served us a very good breakfast. The fluffiest omelettes ever.
    After breakfast we toured the shopping area. Surprise- even though this is a tourist town, many of the shops are closed Sunday and Monday. However, we did find a few that were open. The most interesting one was an antique shop that has Tibetan antiques, acquired in Nepal. The collector was having fun showing us singing bowls, bells, gongs, etc. used for meditation. I commented on how one large gong with a very loud low chime was all consuming. He responded with, "Yup, it opens all the chakras". I would have liked to have purchased something but oof it was expensive.

    Our B&B host realized that we are mentally finished with the trip and just need a day of relaxation, so she suggested that we go to Blue Rocks. It's a very pretty point and it was very relaxing just to hang out there for a little while.Läs mer

    Oak Island Update

    29 augusti 2022, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    So the reason for staying at Mahone Bay was to make the pilgrimage to Oak Island. Much to our surprise you can now drive onto the island. Thinking we would have to get out of the car just before the causeway we didn't have our cameras ready. When you get onto the island there is a nice guy telling you the Visitor's Center is closed and the most you can do is make a U-turn in the parking lot. While Gerard was making the U-turn I was scrambling to get my phone out so the pictures are not very good.
    However, we do know that there is a great view of the island at the Oak Island Resort (this was not the name last time), so we drove over and took some pictures from there.
    Now off to the Mug & Anchor to have a drink with Rick and Marty ☺️

    Mahone Bay

    29 augusti 2022, Kanada ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Stayed at Mahone Bay for a couple of nights. It's a lovely place that gets you easily to Lunenburg and not as touristy, but still touristy.
    We've had some really nice stays at really nice B&B's. Cathy our last host was by far the most accommodating.
    Our breakfasts were interesting being shared with a young couple from Scotland (she's actually Canadian who now calls Scotland home), a couple from Germany and a couple from Australia. Lots of stories being shared about everyone's travels.
    Oak Island update - we never did eat at the Mug & Anchor because it is closed for supper on Mondays. We sat on the deck of a pizza place and enjoyed the view. During supper we had some Oak Island celebrity sightings. Gary Drayton drove by in his big black jeep. Steve Guptill walked by. Paul Troutman drove by. Then Billy Gerhardt in a very new, very bright yellow truck. Then Steve Guptill walked by again!
    And now off to Halifax so we can come home.
