Mary and Derek

We spent a couple days at my aunty Mary and Uncle Derek's place in Annapolis Royal in Nova Scotia.
WHAT A GREAT TIME WE HAD!

First of all they are really cool people!
We came on a day when my uncle Derek got a minor operation to remove some skin on his leg. Well, let's say when we arrived, there had been blood all over and even though they were a bit under duress, they still made us feel very welcomed and at home.

Next day we went to the market and what a market it was!
Amazing produces, arts, food, music, a real taste of the local fair.
Henri had a massive waffle (best of the trip so far- best in his life i think) made by a german couple.
I got some local wine, Gareth got local coffee owned by a guy who knows some of our friends in Rossland! small world! Charlie got baskets of fruits! to each their own pleasure!

Mary showed us the boardwalk and some spectacular houses in town.

Then Derek arranged for Gareth to take us on his little sun boat! Some liked it more than others...

In the evening, Derek took us on a little tour around the place. First stop Port Royal:

"Port-Royal National Historic Site has a reconstruction of the Habitation, an enclosed wooden compound. In 1605, Samuel de Champlain helped establish one of the earliest European attempts at settlement in North America on land that is the traditional homeland of the Mi’kmaq."

Then off to see the bay of Fundy and a small fishing village. The tidal range is huge here as you can see in this picture:

Here are the boys jumping on the rocks next to the warf (they can't just walk they have to climb and jump!!!):

The next day we had to say farewell to our Little Biggy Bob trailer, as it is not coming with us to les Iles de la Madeleine.

Here's us saying aurevoir to Mary and Derek:

Thank you very much for your hospitality!!!

See you in November when we come to pick up Biggy Bob and start heading down south towards the sunshine!
