Leaving Nova Scotia and Arriving Bar Harbor, ME, USA

A Princess Cruise ship in the harbor. The town was packed the next day!!!

And this is the beautiful 4 masted sailing schooner which we got to ride in the next day.

Kayakers in Bar Harbor. They were actually checking out that boat you see in the upper corner, and trying to figure out if they could beat him into the harbor, or if they needed to wait to avoid getting run over.

Beautiful Bar Harbor, ME. When we get rich, we're going to come back and stay at this resort.

Acadia National Park. This is on top of Cadillac Mountain. The highest peak in the NE USA,

and at certain times of year, it's where the sunrise is first seen on the east coast.

More scenes from Acadia National Park.

Very cool weather in Acadia National park. This is the beach, in the Park.

Scenery from our ferry ride; including a lighthouse.

We're going away from the ferry landing, through this passage, and out into the Bay of Fundy, where the waters were much rougher.

And this is our ferry.

On the way to the ferry landing (at 6:30 AM) we saw this salmon far. it's where they put the baby salmon they're raising commercially, and let them grow up to 'eating size.'

We opted to pay the exorbitant ferry fee to shorten the triptime out of Nova Scotia, rather than

driving way back west nearly to Halifax, and then north up to New Brunswick, and then back east to Maine. The ferry ride was, in and of itself, quite an experience. It cut about a day of driving time out of our trip. There were probably 5 other RV's on the ferry, and several 18 wheelers, besides all the cars. The next few pics are of the ferry ride. We were not allowed to stay in our cars, but came inside to a very comfortable big room. On one end, they showed a full length movie, and the other end was just all comfortable chairs, and windows all around. It was misty and cold outside. Dick and I read our books. Spot had to stay in the rig. (regulations). The ferry ride was about 3 1/2 hours long, from Digby, Nova Scotia, to St. John's, New Brunswick.

And our last meal out in little Digby, Nova Scotia. Seafood, of course.

We went down to the docks in Digby, Nova Scotia, and the pictures are to try to show you how extreme the tide changes are in this area. The high tide goes up to the top of those docks. many of the boats just rest on dry land at low tide.
