We walked off our breakfast of bacon-wrapped scallops & eggs (seriously!). Rachel & Dave introduced us to their new home-town and various highlights including a very nice crazy quilt show! The area is full of trails and Dave was eager to help me find the ever-elusive red cardinal. No red cardinal to be seen, but a painted turtle, bright green frogs and a variety of ducks was just great. The trail we followed is an abandoned rail line and provides access to the forest and wetlands around Annapolis Royal.
All too soon it was time to say good bye and head to Digby for the 5:30 ferry. We had enough time in Digby to take a stroll along the boardwalk and enjoy an early supper.
The ferry didn’t have many passengers so there was plenty of room to enjoy the 2 hour trip. We got into St. John, NB just as the sun was setting and managed to find the campground in the dark.
