Touring Digby, Yarmouth, and Annapolis Royal

These boats are scallop boats at the wharf

We have spent three nights in Digby home to the world famous Digby Scallops- they are very big and very tasty. The weather has been absolutely perfect sunny days with a slight breeze and no fog who could ask for more.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in this area very beautiful scenery and interesting places. On our drive to Yarmouth we passed thru small fishing villages and coves, one in particular we really enjoyed was Gilberts Cove there is a lighthouse that is over 100 years old. It is not a working lighthouse anymore there is small a museum and tea room. The best is the “light keeper” he had so many stories to tell and he was just a charming as the lighthouse itself. We had wonderful visit with him. We have decided to give the scenery a rest and will head to Antigonish for the Scottish Highland Games.
