Leaving St. John, New Brunswick - Saturday, 09/11/2010

We left St. John saturday morning and boarded the ferry to Digby, Nova Scotia. Several people had expressed an opinion that taking the ferry to Digby and then driving to Halifax took just as long as driving all the way to Halifax, and you saved the cost of the ferry. Probably true, but we weren't going on to Halifax, we were staying in Digby and it would have taken longer to drive all the way to Digby. Oh well, enough of the logistics.

The ferry ride over was relaxing. We opened a bottle of wine and had cheese, crackers, and fresh apples and plums.



Just in case Allison & Charles can't remember what we look like



Got to Digby about 3:30, drove to our next B&B, and checked in. A lovely tudor house. There was some confusion about our room and we ended up staying in a room that had a private bathroom but was not "en suite". Excellent decision as the new room was large, with two easy chairs and lots of room. The bathroom was two steps away down the hall, and also nice and large with a great shower and it was ours, with each room having their own as we did. We're discovering along the way that having a bath in your room is not always the way to go, since it reduces the space of your room. As long as my bath is immediately next to my room, clean (which they've all been spotless), and exclusively ours, Vicki is happy! (Don't let Doug kid you, he's happy too! )

Note: I am sure by now that you can tell that both Vicki and I are contributing to this blog and more than likely you can also tell who is writing what. It may be confusing, because sometimes one of us will add something relevant in the middle of a paragraph, or even sentence. But, if it's flowery it's Vicki, and if it's manly, of course it's Doug. (Now for an example, guess who is writing the prose in the next posting? I'll give you a hint - Flowery. )
