Ah! Nova Scotia at last!!!!

We woke up this morning and had a scrumptious (!) Continental Breakfast at the hotel. As we didn't have to be to the ferry until noon, we took our time packing and preparing for the rainy ride over to the dock. Daniel asked for directions from the front desk attendent as Jenn and I got Erin fitted for the 15 minute ride. As we got to the parking area of thee ferry, they waved us to the front of the line and we went inside to get our boarding passes. They were quickly provided, and we were asked to go ahead and enter the boat and follow the directions as provided by the attendents. The deck was wet and extremely slippery. Jenn had a real challenge with Erin and her brand new tires. But we were quickly in place and battened down using the ratcheting straps as provided on the ship. We went to the upper cabin area and settled in for the 3 hour ride to Digby Nova Scotia. It rained most of the way, and the temperature continued to drop.

We arrived at the port and we were quickly off and heading the hotel ( Admiral Digby Inn) which was only about 1/2 mile away.

 Our plans of going out for dinner was scuttled when we found out our hotel had a lobster dinner special. So we stayed "home" and waited for the 5 PM restaurant opening, sipping some alcohol contraban that I mentioned in the last post. Finally 5 PM was here and we walked over to the attached dining establishment. While sampling the local beer (Alexander Keith's Red Amber), we ordered the lobster special and a sampling of the appetizers including, smoked salmon and the famous Fundy Bay Scallops wrapped in bacon, mmmmmmmmmm.

After the local lobster were pulled right from the tank and sent to the back to steam, we settled into looking out at the Bay fo Fundy and saying what a beautiful place for a meal. The food soon arrived, and we made short work of the lobster and quickly ordered some dessert, Jenn & Erin got chocolate cake, I got strawberry cheesecake, and Dan ordered SEAFOOD GUMBO! Hey, he felt the need for some additional  seafood! Dan was given a "Tooney" (?) in change which we were told was a 2 dollar coin. So bellies full, we waddled back to our cabin overlooking the bay , for an early evening and to get things prepped for our trip to Halifax tomorrow. Hopefully the rain will let up a little, but if it doesn't, Hey that is part of the adventure right???  So going to bed now, talk to you tomorrow.
