Au revoir, Canada

Another great night’s sleep under the stars (well, RV roof, then stars).

Today we left Annapolis Royal, stopping in Digby for a great breakfast. The pancakes were the size of dinner plates oozing with chocolate chips, living up to the name of the shop: A Little Bit of Heaven. We were the only patrons but think we covered their overhead for the next year or so.

We continued on to Yarmouth - a sleepy old town that was made even quieter because it’s Sunday - where we boarded the Cat Ferry back to Portland. A large vessel, mini-cruise, very sleek-looking boat that boasts a casino and 3 or 4 lounges each showing 2 movies. With Izzy safely (but probably not happy)inside the Beast, safely inside the Cat, Evan and I are in the Yarmouth Lounge waiting for 7 Pounds (Will Smith) to start - a movie!! The kids are in the adjacent lounge waiting for Bolt to begin, followed by Monsters Vs. Aliens. They have already asked for money for popcorn, pizza and apparently Cameron is on the hunt for a large party chip bag that he has spotted others enjoying. There are a bunch of different concession spots, so he is checking them all out. We told them one shareable (yeah, right) item per hour. It’s a 5-hour ride.



We decided against a whale-watch tour when we were in Digby as most outfits had said the tours were over 5 hours long because the sightings were few and far between (it's a little early - high season is end of July into August). BUT... about an hour into the Cat trip, the captain announced that there was a humpback within view. It was so cool!

After a really quick drive from the ferry in Portland we are at our final RV park - a fully-loaded (great heated pool, cute log-cabin general store, Wifi, pizza delivery, playground, game room, etc.) very woodsy KOA. We talked about a final hike tomorrow(our last full day) but may just end up at an amusement park/boardwalk/beach area. Don't worry readers, we'll let you know either way...
