MORE NOVA SCOTIA ADVENTURES

Yesterday we were blessed with another sunny weather and planned a full day. We drove the car from Klahanie Kamping in Aylesford to the Town of Digby for their world famous Digby scallops.  There was a low hanging fog over the water with blue skies above.

Another quaint village

We brought out cooler with us and bought
three pounds of those nasty scallops

We saw a sign for Sandy Cove Beach and made a slight detour to check it out.  It was a beautiful sandy crescent beach and very petty.

Of course, we had to stop for lunch to taste those world famous scallops and they were delicious.  I read about the local wineries in the Annapolis area and needed to try a wine made from their local white grapes called Tidal Bay which complemented the seafood lunch.

Our ferry

Then we took a ferry in Tiverton to see the Balancing Rock, a columnar basalt sea stock resting precariously on end.  We were glad we put on our hiking shoes to get to it because it turned out to be about a mile in on rocky terrain with many, many steps to climb.  It definitely got our hearts pumping and was a good workout with a rewarding view at the end.  But you must remember what goes up must come down or visa versa and the stairs going back up were a nice challenge.

Nice walk through the woods

Look at this little cutie

Lots of steps to get the the Rock

I read about Tommy's Branch Look-Off and it sounded interesting, so we detoured a bit to find it because it was off the beaten path.

Signing the guest book

Actually, the property is privately owned but they allow the public to visit and see the view.  They have two cabins up there, a hammock and picnic tables.
