We are on the Move….

We woke up this morning to rain, fog, and wind such a dreary day we decided it would be a perfect day to fuel up the motorhome- :) We also changed our route no sense taking the scenic route with limited visibility so we took the most direct route into Digby. It was nice drive on a well-maintained two-lane road thru the countryside. We passed thru an experimental Christmas tree farm-not sure why its experimental- couldn’t find out because the interpretation center was closed. We also passed thru Berwick, which claims to be the apple capital of Nova Scotia. There sure seem to be a lot of self-proclaimed capitols of something or other. Nova Scotia sits between the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic Ocean. We are now on the Bay of Fundy side. We arrived this afternoon at the campground the weather did improve enough we could walk the wharf and downtown area. Digby is the capitol of Scallops. What I find very interesting is that the scallops are $2 higher here than anywhere else in Nova Scotia!! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE CAPITOL should be cheaper- I would think! Oh well! This is going to be our base for a few days while we take day trips to Yarmouth and Annapolis Royal.

This was our view for most of the way



This picture was taken from the same spot about 6 hrs apart. The tides in Digby are about 40 feet.
