We drove a short distance to Bridgetown – what a quaint little place. Loads of character homes line the streets.
We spent the morning poking around some antique shops in the area and then in the afternoon visited the Acadian Port Royal National Park. A dedicated crew rebuilt the fort as Samuel de Champlain’s team would have built it in 1605. We were surprised to see how much more “lavish” it was than the fur trading forts we’ve seen on the Canadian prairies. As one of the guides said, the port was easy to access by ship and goods could easily be unloaded there without having to move them further.
A short distance away is the Bay of Fundy – what a difference compared to the NB side where we visited Hopewell Rocks.
