We spent the night at the Harborview B&B and motel in Port Hawkesbury, N.S. We didn't get to explore this town at all, but we slept well and in comfort.
As you can see it was wet. It rained all night and was raining heavily in the morning with forecast throughout the day. We decided to forgo our plans to camp at Taylor Head Provincial Park (our gear was now wet, too!) on the South Shore. Instead we opted for a faster route to Halifax.

We really enjoyed this park. The animals are all kept there because none can be released to the wild (for various reasons). One thing that we really liked was that they were all native to Canada. We also liked that we could really get close to them.
There was also a large picnic park there with a nice playground attached. We made use of both of these... but no pictures :)
We finished our trip to Halifax and ended the day at a very spacious (for five!) and comfortable hotel. We took a dip in the hot tub and pool. We also tried the water slide which was extremely high and fast. A touch scary, actually.

That's my splash - too fast for the camera...
I'm pretty sure the slide was four stories high. |
It seems like it's been days since you've had any poutine, Dan.
