Travelling to the far north
... and have tall pointed steeples. The topography and vegetation changed quite rapidly as soon as we entered Canada, the type of evergreens becoming much more limited, and the roads very wide. They have a lot of space in this country!
We both fell asleep in the car waiting for the ferry to Nova Scotia, a three hour voyage that arrived at 2 am. Luckily our motel was only two minutes from the terminal, so we were in bed very quickly indeed. ...
Whale watching trip - not!

Onward to Digby (and sim card woes)
... Digby, arriving at 4pm. Before travelling to the accommodation we had lunch at KFC (big mistake) and popped into Sobeys to get provisions for a few nights.
