On Peters vacation in July we decided to take a day trip to Parrsboro, we have never been there. It was about a 2 1/2 hr drive. But seeing something new was worth the trip.
|
Our first stop was at the Five Island Provincial Park. You can get a good view of the Five Islands from there. |
|
We had to drive about a km back off of the road, but was worth it. |
|
I stand in amazement at the beauty around us. |
|
On a clear day we can view these Islands from home over 200 km away. |
|
You can see here how Cape Blomidon/Cape Split line up. So close but yet so far. |
|
We enjoy our day trips. |
|
From the highway you can get a good view of all 5. |
|
We have arrived in Parrsboro. this is the Kipawo. years ago this boat would take passengers from Parrsboro to Wolfville. |
|
But they kept the boat and used it in this Ships Company Theatre. |
|
Pretty Amazing |
|
The way she looked when she was in service. |
|
I know, it says Ottawa, but we are in N.S. It is the name of the Muesum. |
|
This beach was down by the Ottawa House Museum. We just follow the roads and see where they will take us. I have always wanted to see what the other side of Blomidon looked like. |
|
I believe there are fossils here. |
|
The fish nets were very interesting. |
|
This is Cape Split. This is where we hiked a week ago. You can't see this from our side, you have to hike there. |
|
That is the beach we were just at. |
|
Back in the town, we found a road that lead to a wharf, which we could see this lighthouse, and watch the tide roll in (we have the highest tides in the world), and also found a great place to eat, highly recommended. |
|
Don't ever let looks fool you. When we went into this restaurant it was clean and the food was homecooked and delicious. We have been on a quest to find the best fish and chips this summer and this was second on our list. |

Another beautiful sunset after our long journey. |
