Today we were so hot with temperatures up to 29*c and high humidity making us sweltering hot. We travelled to historical Annapolis calling at Bear River first.

At bear River we found craft shops on stilts over the tidal river water. Along the Acadian coast there is one of the largest differences between low and high tides.

At Annapolis we visited the historical gardens and kept in the shade of the trees. Grandad took many macro pics of the beautiful summer flowers. the lakes and rose gardens were especially lovely.

There is a reproduction of an authentic Acadian house in a position they believe it would have been situated facing the marshy river.

We wandered around the town after a lovely salad lunch at Leos café. and then later on back in Digby we walked along fisherman’s wharf to see the mackerel fishing bats returning at high tide.

We ended the day by driving up to Prim Point where the ferry leaves to cross the sea to St John. The cliffs and lighthouse and rocky coastline were impressive as were the wild flowers
