We took the Cat ferry from Bar Harbor, Maine to Yarmouth, Novia Scotia. A quick 2-1/2 hour trip, but hard on Mary's stomach. For most of the trip, she stood on the aft deck with one of those little paper bags in her hand. Fortunalely no mishaps, but it took a while for her to recover once on shore.
Then, we took a delightful drive along Nova Scotia's South Shore. Stopping in Shelburne and Liverpool to see those pretty villages on the water, we tied up at a bed and breakfast, Kaulbach House, http://kaulbachhouse.com/ffn/index.html, in Lunenberg. The area was originally settled by Germans so, after walking around town and boarding the well-known Schooner, Blue Nose II, we dined at the nearby Old Black Forest restuarant - recommended by the inn keeper. Mary have Bavarian pork schnitzel while Jim had Octoberfest sausage. Both good, topped off by apple strudel.
After breakfast, we will he heading to Halifax, a larger town, where we will spend a couple of days.
