Day 1 exploring Acadie in Nova Scotia!

Rog put together an incredible itinerary!
One might even say delicious! 😉

How we got there:

We took the Digby ferry ⛴️ from Saint John and opted for an overnight stay at the Chateau Saint John since we were catching the first, early morning crossing.

Takes about 2.5hrs on the ferry and thanks to our Federal Government is subsidized which reduced the price to half the normal fare! 🇨🇦

Where we stayed:

The Cove Bed & Breakfast/Gîte de l’Anse in Meteghan River.

Very relaxing stay. Delicious eggs Benny! Gotta love that hot tub with a view of the ocean and the pets were sweet, affectionate and cuddly…

Where we played:

1. Historic Acadian Village of Nova Scotia in Pubnico.

-step back in time to experience what early Acadian life was like!

-go before 3pm to experience Acadian cuisine at the café as it often sells out and closes early.

-we had a delicious fish soup and shared 2 desserts!

-be sure and talk to each person in every home and shop you visit for an interactive experience with beautiful take aways and samples of early Acadian life!

2. Musée Des Acadiens Des Pubnico

-sadly closed by the time we got there but we enjoyed the exterior including the Acadian garden in back with vegetables they would have planted during early Acadian life.

3. Cap Forchu

-what a neat spot reminiscent of Peggy’s Cove with its Rocky outcropping full of places to explore!

-very cool fossil of Foggy the whale 🐋

-writing discovered on the rock thought to be from Leif Erikson - early Viking explorer dating back to 1000 A.D!

4. Supper in Yarmouth

-gotta try those Digby Scallops at Rudder’s Restaurant. Busy but worth it!

Jour 1 : à la découverte de l'Acadie en Nouvelle-Écosse !

Rog nous a concocté un itinéraire incroyable !
On pourrait même dire qu’il est « délicieux » ! 😉

Comment nous y sommes allés :

Nous avons pris le ferry de Digby ⛴️ depuis Saint John et avons choisi de passer la nuit au Château Saint John, car nous devions prendre la première traversée tôt le matin.

Le trajet en ferry dure environ 2 h 30 et, grâce à notre gouvernement fédéral, il est subventionné, ce qui a réduit le prix de moitié par rapport au tarif normal ! 🇨🇦

Où nous avons séjourné :

The Cove Bed & Breakfast/Gîte de l’Anse à Meteghan River.

Un séjour très relaxant. Les œufs Bénédicte étaient délicieux ! Impossible de ne pas adorer ce whirlpool bath avec vue sur l’océan, et les animaux de compagnie étaient adorables, affectueux et câlins…

Où nous nous sommes amusés :

1. Le village acadien historique de Nouvelle-Écosse à Pubnico.

- Remontez le temps pour découvrir à quoi ressemblait la vie des premiers Acadiens !

- Allez-y avant 15 h pour déguster la cuisine acadienne au café, car il est souvent complet et ferme tôt.

- Nous avons dégusté une délicieuse soupe de poisson et partagé deux desserts !

- N’hésitez pas à discuter avec chaque personne dans chaque maison et boutique que vous visitez pour vivre une expérience interactive riche en souvenirs et en aperçus de la vie des premiers Acadiens !

2. Musée des Acadiens de Pubnico

- Malheureusement fermé à notre arrivée, mais nous avons apprécié l’extérieur, notamment le jardin acadien à l’arrière avec les légumes que l’on cultivait à l’époque des premiers Acadiens.

3. Cap Forchu

- Quel endroit charmant qui rappelle Peggy’s Cove, avec son affleurement rocheux regorgeant de recoins à explorer !

- Un fossile très impressionnant de Foggy la baleine 🐋

- Des inscriptions découvertes sur le rocher qui seraient celles de Leif Erikson, l’un des premiers explorateurs vikings, datant de l’an 1000 après J.-C. !

4. Dîner à Yarmouth

- Il faut absolument goûter les coquilles Saint-Jacques de Digby au restaurant Rudder’s. Il y a du monde, mais ça vaut le coup !

He popped the question and I said YES! 💍

My partner in life and possibly a collab in business?

What happens when you combine Acadian sites, stories, food, music and culture with trails?

Let’s do it Rog!
