Today’s a travel day with a goal of reaching our destination of a goat farm a few miles outside of Turo, Nova Scotia. As we cross the Confederation Bridge and pay our $55 toll we think back to the five days spend in Canada’s smallest Province. A toll is not collected on the way out to PEI, just when leaving the Island. There was still more to see and experience but we’ll save that for another time. Prince Edward, being Canada’s smallest Provide is larger in area than either Rhode Island or Delaware yet is dwarfed in size by the other 9 Provinces.
At a stop along our route, we realize that if we hurry we could catch sight of the tidal bore in the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy where tides can rise up to 50 feet twice each day. The tidal bore happens just after low tide were the water reverses flow starting with a wave of water. Three years ago in Moncton, New Brunswick Marsha and Wells witnessed two surfers surf the tidal bore traveling a few miles. It would be a pain if you missed that first wave since you would need to wait about 12 ½ hours for the next wave to come. We arrived about ten minutes too late to see the tidal bore this afternoon, but we’ll have a chance maybe tomorrow.
We arrived at this goat farm where there is room for two camping units to be overlooking miles of grazing land and forests. We are the only two campers here and we have a lovely stop.
