Digby Ferry, July 31, 2009

This morning we woke early for a 7:30 ferry ride from Digby, Nova Scotia to Saint John, New Brunswick on the Princess Acadia, which took 3 hours.
It was a great ride with an excellent interpretive guide who told us of the history of Fundy Bay, taught us all about whales and the Fundy tides. It was both interesting and fun! We all enjoyed the presentations. It was very foggy and cool, but we stayed on deck and looked closely for whale sightings, but alas, the fog was too thick and we did not see any of the beautiful creatures. But the kids were not too disappointed, as there was a children’s area where the kids did all kinds of crafts and activities. Mary had fun playing some slot machines and was happy to win some more shopping $$!!

Oliver was even able to take his business calls….the cell reception was better on the boat than on the mainland.

We have now completed our Canadian adventure and are now presently driving towards DuBois, Pennsylvania for a week of rest and relaxation.
