It feels great to sleep in until 7 this morning, and to have no real agenda beyond exploring the city.
The downtown area has lots of old buildings, boutiques and restaurants. It reminds me of Saint John in a lot of ways. Cruise ship passengers and tour buses comb the streets while carriage tours pass by with a distinctive clip-clop.
I meet my cousin Rob for lunch at Cora’s and then I head down to the waterfront where there’s live music, more restaurants, a yacht club and lots of happy tourists.
Then I come across this little hut on the dock that rents paddleboards by the hour. I’ve been wanting to try paddleboarding for years.
I go out for an hour to see what it’s like and it’s an absolute blast! I come close to falling a few times – especially when the jetskis go by – but I get the hang of it after a bit and manage to stay dry.
Tomorrow we go back to Nova Scotia for the final leg of the tour, including the infamous Cabot Trail.
Lynn's Bike Ride 
Great blogging, Lynn. Looking forward to reading about what I’m missing to fire me up for a return visit. …alan
Thanks Alan, I’m hoping for sunny skies through CB so I can get some good photos. Hard to believe we have only four days left!
You make me wish I wasn’t scared to death of bicycling Lynn. Great pics, and great commentary. I was hooked on your blog during Tour Pacific, looks like another amazing experience.
Thanks for your support, Carla! I’m interested to see how the Cabot Trail compares to the Rockies.
