Since it was another nice day, we decided to head over to a provincial park in Truro. Greg had picked out a trail for us to hike that would take us past a few waterfalls.
Well, those 14,000 steps we had taken the day before quickly made themselves felt!
We managed to make it the 1/2 mile to the falls, which were pretty but crowded with people (and a few stinky wet dogs).
The falls right before a crowd of people decided to jump in.And right after a crowd of people jumped in.
Legs aching, we headed back to the car. The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing in the camper.
After leaving Prince Edward Island, we headed to Truro, Nova Scotia. We will be staying in various locations in Nova Scotia over the next couple of weeks.
The first full day that we were there, it rained heavily all day. We relaxed in the camper. I pulled out a book that I had been waiting for the perfect rainy day to read.
The next day was also dreary, but Greg decided that we were going to go off and do something, damn it. So we headed to the Discovery Center, which turned out to be a different discovery center than the one he had intended to go to.
The folks there were very nice. They recommended that while we were in the area, we stop by Burntcoat Head, location of the highest tides ever recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records.
It was coming up on low tide, which I’m beginning to believe is actually the best time to explore the Bay of Fundy.
This photo was taken looking off to the left. The photo below was taken looking off to the right.If you zoom in on this photo and look closely, you can see tiny people near the middle of the photo. This should give you an idea of how much of the ocean floor is exposed during low tide. And low tide is still 3 hours away!
After our visit to Burntcoat Head, we headed back to the camper.
