We drove to Five Islands Provincial Park, about an hour west of Truro, Nova Scotia. We stayed at the park and I think we paid about $30 a night, senior’s rate. There were some nice sites and more private than ours, we were in a big field again but the sites were huge and we enjoyed our time there. Five Islands Provincial Park is located on the shore of the Minas Basin, which is part of the Bay of Fundy, known for the highest tides in the world. In particular, Burntcoat Head in Nova Scotia have recorded ranges of over 16 metres (53 feet). New information suggests that Leaf Basin in Nunavik, the northern most part of Quebec, may have slightly higher figures. It would be interesting to know for sure. We liked walking on the mud flats and there were a few people there clamming, while the tide was out of course !

They had signs up telling us when the tides were going out and coming in

It was a beautiful spot, view to the right 
When the tides were out, a lot of people were out clamming. 
Clamming people ! 
We also drove down to 5 Islands Lighthouse Park where there was a better view of the 5 islands.

We took a drive to Truro to get some groceries and tour the town and stopped at a cute spot for lunch, Nook and Cranny. We stopped at the Bay of Fundy Discovery Centre and learned about tidal bores and tidal waves, it’s all so interesting to me how and why bores and tidal waves occur. We also drove to Parrsboro and it was a lovely drive to get there and even lovelier when we spotted 2 Islands Brewery. We had pretty nice weather while we were in this area, usually about 15-16 Celsius and for the most part, very sunny.

So we are now getting closer to home. We leave Nova Scotia and drive through New Brunswick and Quebec and then Ontario awaits us !

I too find tidal flows very interesting, Susan, its so amazing that the moon at 230,000 plus miles away can move so much water! I didn’t know that the land actually depresses when the tide is in, wow! Beautiful scenery and quaint Canadian towns, so much to enjoy!
The abandoned church is sad. Thing: I was just in my backyard repairing a broken watering tube when two Canada Geese flew overhead VERY low. I’ve never seen them fly over my home so low! T
he first thing that came to mind was the first four notes of the Canadian National Anthem. Dahh dii dii dahh. I stand on guard for theee! 🇨🇦❤️
