Thursday 1st September 2011…..rabbit, rabbits, rabbits!!!

My Mum always told me the first chance I had on the first of the month to say the above it would bring me good luck!!!!!

The usual morning and then off at 9am to find the waterfalls that I had read about in a Magazine and saved the article.

It was about a 20 minute drive from where I overnighted but way out on the back roads

 

….found a place for my girl to park!!

The article said the trail was a bit uneven very steep about one km and ropes needed on the last drop to the falls….I found out all of this was true!!!

It was well worth the trouble the falls were quite lovely especially this early in the morning!!!

I found another short trail which took to to the top of the falls…

It was a great way to start the first day of the month….

Back on the road my next stop was the harbour at Mabou for lunch..

In town I found the Red Shoe Pub which is owned by the famous musical family the Rankin's.  Found out David Rankin is performing tonight at 10pm……so then found a great spot by the water that will be good for an overnight stop and close enough for me to walk to the pub!

I then moved down the road a few more miles to the town of Port Hood where the ocean is reported to be the warmest in Nova Scotia…

I think you can tell what kind of afternoon it is going to be!!!

Now back in your chair ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did have a swim and it was not in my humble opinion warm!!!!!!!

Then found this great place to have supper and get cleaned up before heading back to the pub for the concert.

Even had my own apple tree!!

Went and parked at my overnight spot…pretty nice I think!!!

Then walked a few minutes to the pub..

and was entertained for over one hour for 6 dollars…to be honest it was nice to hear country signing for a change and not a fiddle in sight!!!

Down for the night….good wishes to all my readers!!!!
