On to Digby





The trees are starting to put on quite a show here in the Maritimes. We had frost a couple of times in Windsor and again in Digby. Mother Nature needs that spell of cold to really show off .
After leaving Gary and Pam, who escorted us to Kentville (maybe they wanted to make sure we really left? Just kidding guys, thanks again) we headed for Digby where the ferry leaves for Saint John. NB From Digby we will explore the Digby Neck, a peninsula that juts out of western Nova Scotia and Kejimkujik National Park.
The visitors welcome to Nova Scotia people here are great!!!! When we asked about open RV parks, they suggested we stay in their parking lot, plug into their power and water. We have the nicest site in town. The hills behind us are a blaze of colour, and we can watch the fishing boats head out every morning and come back in the evening.
Yesterday we toured Kejimkujik, Although a lot of the trails are closed (floating bridges have been put up for the winter) we got in a lot of walking. The dogs were able to run free as there were few people in the park. The day was sunny for the most part and the park beautiful.
Today the weather looks promising and we will explore the neck (A narrow slither of land named Digby Neck extends out from the mainland with joints of islands at it's tip, Briar and Long Islands, in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia ) It is about 70 km long and has 2 ferries to get to the islands at the end.
