For a slightly belated birthday trip for me we drove out to Musquodoboit Harbour, since Kim hadn’t explored the Eastern Shore at all before.

Musquodoboit Harbour farmer's market.

We checked out the farmer’s market, which had a lot of cute vendors and some lovely music in the park. We had fish and chips for lunch at Harbour Fish n Fries which Kim said was the best battered fish she’d ever had. She remains consistently surprised at the quality of the fish in Nova Scotia - I figure there’s got to be some compensation for being stuck off of the dege of the continent into the middle of the ocean.

The farmer’s market takes place next to the old train station, now in use as a museum and the local HRM consituency office since we’ve ripped up the train tracks.

The gorgeous old train station. It would have been wonderful to have taken the train out here, like we could have one hundred years ago. Sad!

Rounded off the trip with some ice cream. A great day all round, even if we were a little late back for nap time.
