Wolfville to Truro

Stopped by the farmers' market before leaving Wolfville

Nice indoor market

Next stop was Grand Pré - Unesco World Heritage Site.  Site dedicated to the Acadians forcibly removed by the British from their homes in 1755.

We were only 2 miles from Evangeline Beach, we were there at low tide on Thursday, so we drove back to take a look at high tide

This was a picture of the same beach at low tide - you wouldn't recognize the beach

Made a few stops along the way, at Walton to see the light house

A small 2 story lighthouse, we went up the first flight of stairs

Tomorrow, we're off to see a tidal bore just outside Truro.  This occurs when the tide is coming in.  We will have seen the high and low tides, vertical and horizontal tides and the tidal bore.  They even have total bore rafting here!  

Wolfville

Terrific breakfast at our B&B - Eggs Florentine, Toast, Canadian Bacon, Potatoes, Fresh Fruit, Juice, Tea and Coffee.

A day spent enjoying high and low tides.

Then we set off for our 8 - 10 mile Cape Split hike.  Took us an hour to drive to the trail head.  We stopped at Scots Bay to get pictures at high tide.  This is a good spot to see the vertical distance between hi and low tide - these pictures were taken about 10:30 (high tide)

These were taken on our way back through around 4:30 (low tide)

High

Low

Back to our Cape Split Hike.  We arrived at the mid point between high and low tides. You can see the water swirling with the tide flowing out of Minas Bay.

Having a bad hair day (hat hair).  Cape Split, Minas Basin on the right and the Bay of Fundy to the left.  

Low tide on our way back to Wolfville- we walked out on the mud flats

Good view of the horizontal tide

Small harbor on the way back to Wolfville

Tomorrow we're off to Truro.  We will stop at Grand Pre, a World Heritage Site, on our way out of Wolfville.
