Goodbye Nova Scotia
Our morning started pretty much as every morning had the week, dense fog, misting rain, visability near zero. But like every other morning, the forg began to burn off as the sun began to rise. As has become customer over the last week, we pack up the bikes and go looking for breakfast. Fortunately, we didn't have to look far, as Peggy's Cove B&B was going to fill that bill this morning. Our hosts Dan & Judy met us as the door and sat us at a breakfast bar facing the cove. The meal as awesome, including french toast covered with bananas and home made syrup heavy with cinnamon!! We ate quickly while talking to our hosts about our motorcycle travels. Shortly we were again on our way, toward Lunenburg, hoping to catch a glimpse of the famous Bluenose II (a replica of one of the fastest sailing ships ever built) as it was preparing for its relaunch. Unfortunately we could not make that happen, so Erin and I went to the Fishing Museum while Jenn & Daniel looked around town. Erin had a blast looking at all the old boats and the live fish aquarium. She ended her visit, "carding" & "spinning" some wool into yarn. We were soon on our way, driving the last 100 miles back to digby. We stopped for lunch at the Fundy Resturant, and Daniel and I took advantage of our last chance at some Fundy Bay Scallops. You know althought we had eaten them with egg, potatoes, bacon and chowder, we had never gotten them the way we wanted them, pan seared. Guess what, that was today's special, and they were just perfect, a fitting end to our Nova Scotia experiance. Soon we were driving the last 2 miles over to the ferry in St. John and loading our bikes up for the 3 hour ride. We just chilled, caught up on some emails, and I am writing this blog! We should dock about 7PM (it's 5:35PM Atlantic time now) we will then ride back to the hotel and load the bikes for a morning departure back to Atlanta. Erin and Jenn's flight isn't until 12:30PM, so Daniel and I will wish them a speedy flight and leave before their flight takes off to begin our 1500 mile trek back home. I will do an epilogue in a few days but I have got to tell you, this trip was more than I expected. Daniel and I decided that we wouldn't have changed anything. The travel party (Jenn, Erin, Daniel and myself), the planning, the lodging, the sites visited, even the weather, all worked together to give us a truly wonderful experiance.
