Leaving Halifax this morning, we drove south to Polly's Cove (photo), where coastal scrub and rock formations offered scenic seascapes and inland vistas. From there, we continued farther south and cut westward across southern Nova Scotia.
Midway along that transit we reached Kejimkujik National Park. Stretching along the Mersey River Valley, the refuge offers a fine network of trails, leading through forest, out to beautiful inland lakes and past a variety of geologic formations; it is also a popular destination for canoe trips and kayaking.
We will spend our last two nights In Nova Scotia at Digby, on the southwest coast of the Island Province. It is known for its whale-watching tours and we hope to participate if weather permits.
