And just over the New Brunswick border we stopped for lunch at Le/The Pirate. Funny how fast food to us is a hamburger or hot dog, but in the maritimes they're all about the Lobster Roll. This was a good one.
Next we stopped at the Nova Scotia welcome center to pick up a map and browse the souvenirs. Being towards the end of September we didn't realize that we wouldn't find any other souvenir shops opened in the province. Or maybe it was just because we only visited small towns, but it turned out that the welcome center was the only place to pick up souvenirs of Nova Scotia.
A long and winding road across a section of Nova Scotia took us to Berwick, where we were staying with friends. A small friendly town where we tried Jonny's Cookhouse. I had their delicious Haddock Burger and have you every tried Pineapple Crush? Yum!
I was terribly disappointed that we didn't get a chance to try some of their ice creams. I mean look at these flavours! I'd probably still be there trying to decide what to have!
Friday night the Berwick Lions Club put on a groovy evening of music and dance with Replay the Sixties Invasion!
We were a little slow getting going the next morning, but finally made the 20 minute drive to the Fundy shore and the little fishing village of Harbourville. More on their lobsters to come!
Later in the week we went to Wolfville where they were holding the Deep Roots music festival with down home music to enjoy throughout the town.
Time for a little nosh at Troy restaurant. My husband tried another micro brew... Sea Level. I had the Pimm's cocktail, a MUCH better choice in my opinion ; ) Cheers!
The weather was unbelievable as we sat out on the terrace enjoying this wonderful lunch, the name of which I unfortunately can't recall. But LOOK at this mediterranean masterpiece!
On the last day of our stay our hosts suggested a visit to Luckett Vineyards. A serene setting where you might imagine yourself in Italy...except for the London phonebox! Visitors to Luckett's can use the phonebox to call toll-free anywhere in North America. Pretty cool!
Here my husband and I shared an antipasto platter that was out of this world! With, of course, a glass of Luckett wine!
But there's nothing like home cooking right? On our final night our gracious hosts prepared a lovely lobster dinner (remember Harbourville? Ya, can't get much fresher than that!)
We sat outside on the deck around the pool enjoying good food and good company, marveling at the weather and looking up at all the stars in the sky. No light pollution here!
On the road again, we passed through Stewiacke Nova Scotia. This is their claim to fame.
Back in New Brunswick at Grand Falls we expected to see, well...GRAND falls! Apparently they're closed sometimes and this was one of those times! Oh well, the gorge was still pretty spectacular.
We did find this quaint restaurant, Le Grand Saut right in the middle of town, short main street you can't miss it. A light supper of Greek salad with grilled shrimp was right up my alley.
Back in Lévis Québec for the final leg of our trip home and like I said before, fast food to us is a hamburger or hot dog!
