During our visit on this occasion we stayed at the Holiday Inn In Truro which was quite good quality. A nice swimming pool, fridge, microwave in room. Large TV and living area with sofa and desk and chairs etc.
We also had a nice little walk in the seering heat of late August. We went to Victoria Square in the Centre of Truro (over the road from the Atlantic Superstore)
On Saturday we visited Niiki and Andy and Jack and Gracie (remember them from the New Forest?) at their new house outside Stewiacke. Loved their house and we had a great BBQ, a few beers and a chin wag about Canada.
We were desperate to meet our friends the Shepherds and find out what they had been up to since they arrived back in May. Our Hire Car suffered a burst tyre but after getting the CAA to come out and swap to a space saver tyre we went to visit them. I had to swap the Hire Car and the friendly man at the Budget Car Rental office let us choose a new car which was a Jeep Cherokee......a great car but don't bother hiring one as it GUZZLES gas !!!!

We all went for a drive along the north coast of the Minas Basin through Masstown, Bass River, Portapique and finally Five Islands which was beautiful. We missed out on Claire's favourite cheese factory and will have to save that for another time.

We also had a visit to Melmerby Beach on a really hot day...a really nice beach with very few people on it.
We also enjoyed the last day of the open air pool at Victoria Park. 28th August. It seemed a bit early closing seeing as we were in the middle of a heatwave.
We decided to look at a couple of houses which were for sale next to each other on East Mountain Road near Truro. Great houses in a great location. We will see if they are still for sale next May.
We had some great evenings with Rob and Claire and also another day out at a beach at Caribou Provincial Park........yet another deserted beach on a hot day.
We were very sad to leave Nova Scotia as it now had begun to feel like home.
