We left Wolfville after a very nice breakfast at the
B&B. Victoria ’s
Historic Inn was the nicest B&B either of us have experienced. The drive was long but we made a stop in Truro
to see the tidal bores. We saw the river
moving in reverse as the tidal bore rushed to our vantage point and raised the
water level several feet in about 10 minutes.
While the experience was worth while it was not quite what we hoped
for. The woman at the welcome center
told us that the fuller the moon the more dramatic the tidal bore. Unfortunately, we are currently in the new
moon phase. What was dramatic, however,
was the wind. We could barely stand in
one spot it was so strong and it generated dreadful thoughts of tomorrow’s
cycling.
Once we left Truro ,
we experienced a sense of abandonment as we went deeper into the wilderness
areas of Canada . It felt like a drive to the end of the
earth. We could not go any further than
the tip of the island. However, that
vanished as we checked into our hotel with its beautiful views. Walking out the
front door we saw the mountains and walking out the back door we saw that the
motel is situated on a large lake. Both
views generated a big WOW from us.
