Back in Kentville area

Made it back to Kentville. We actually didn’t see any rain yesterday, so perhaps the weather is changing. But, it was still overcast all day.

Lunenburg (day 2)

Despite the weather (yes, it’s still raining) we had a pretty good day yesterday. We walked into Lunenburg, about 10 minutes from the campground, and went to the Bluenose II restoration.

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

It stopped raining just long enough yesterday morning to return the bikes to the back of Sherman. Our couchsurfing host David was at work, so we said goodbye to the other couchsurfers and headed out for the long drive to Lunenburg.

We spent the whole day yesterday inside the house. Why? Because it poured with rain all day. Even Whiskey didn’t want to go outside.

Crescent Beach (day 3)

We did manage to go for a walk yesterday morning without getting drenched. In fact, the day turned out slightly better than was forecast, but the weather is still terrible.

Crescent Beach (day 2)

Yesterday morning was still cool, although the rain held off long enough for us to go for a 14 km (8.7 mile) bike ride. We haven’t had the bikes on the road since Mexico!

By the time we finished breakfast yesterday, the sun was shining! It was still cool and a bit windy, but at least we had the sun. We took Whiskey for a nice walk all the way around Graves Island.

So this looks like not a bad website to buy camping gear .

Graves Island boat launch, near Chester

We left Ross Farm Museum at around 8:30am yesterday. It was VERY foggy  and drizzly and it didn’t really start to clear up at all so we only drove about 35 kms (22 miles) to the town of Chester.

We left our spot at Tracey’s house at around 9:30am yesterday. We stopped at the gas station and put $140 worth of fuel into Sherman, and that gave us about half a tank! But it should be enough to last us for the month because we’re not going very far.

Customer service extremes

Last September we wrote about the exceptional customer service that we received from the Lagostina Cookware Company. Yesterday, we had another exceptional experience.

Puttering around

We were going to be heading out on our next Nova Scotia exploration this morning, but we’ve decided to put it off for one more day.

Blomidon Provincial Park

Most of our Canadian readers will know that today is election day in Canada. Will anything change? Well all we can do is hope, I suppose.

April expenses and Adsense income

 Not a bad month, but once again the “ miscellaneous” expenses were higher than we like them to be. On the website income side of things,  our Adsense revenue once again had a pretty good month.

A nice spring day

We fired up Sherman yesterday morning and drove the 6 kms (4 miles) or so over to Tracey’s place. We’re parked up on her front lawn overlooking the street, but it’s not a busy street and there’s a farm across the road, so it’s a decent spot for a few days.
