| Missing links |
We've missed allsorts of things this holiday but here is a Fisher! Definitely what we saw at Fort Anne.
Today we missed the tidal bore at Truro - quite a few hours too early. We missed the Mi'qmac (1st nation) interpretive centre just outside Truro because we ended up on the wrong road (poor signposting yet again). We did find Victoria Park in Truro though and survived walking the Hemlock Trail (Hemlock is a tree in Canada) and we also walked part of the heritage architecture walk - Truro again.
Once on the wrong road out of Truro we found The Provincial Wildlife Park and pulled in to eat our lunch. Then we thought we might as well go and have a look at the wildlife imprisoned here. The weather was considerably better by this time. We didn't miss the Linx but missed photographing it as it was lying in long grass the other side of its compound. Also the bobcats, wolves and otters proved to difficult to photograph. Then we found the fisher (a lady called Barbie!) and our trip was complete!
Now we're in Halifax, at Shubie Campground, 2km up the road from the Canadream rental depot. We had a quick walk in Shubie Park, had a look at a swimming beach on Lake Charles where people were actually swimming (weather warming up a bit at last|) and saw the old canal which was to have linked Halifax to the Fundy Shore for freight but its usefulness was overtaken by the railway.
We have eaten our supplies so had to walk 1/2hr to the nearest restaurant where we were presented with enormous rib-eye steaks.
I'm writing this putting off the cleaning and packing up -perhaps it can all wait til the morning!
