The Islands

Last weekend I had a great time in Nova Scotia on a friend's islands.
It was a long trip: 12+ hour drive to Saint John in New Brunswick, followed by a 3h ferry accross. The islands were 1/2h further inland in the vast Nova Scotian wilderness. The roadtrip was fun, thru Maine and some other of these United States... We almost hit a mother moose and her calf in Maine. All parties were shaken, but none hurt. Extra caution was exercised thereafter :)

The island resort has no name yet. This was an inaugural party weekend, to 'christen' the (3) islands, but we didn't quite get to that part yet. I suggest Frog Island, for there was an abundance of cute lil' fingernail-size brown froggies scurrying about :)


L-R: The Food Preparation Facility; the kitchen with heavy-duty cast-iron utensils and a flat-top stone counter; the sleeping quarters; the state-of-the-Art toilet.
We were the pioneers on the island, whacking our way in & clearing all above mentioned spaces before settling in... Food (NS salmon, scallops, etc etc) was good, fresh, and plentiful. Followed by some happy/tired camp-fire BS ;)

Good time was had by all, and I'm looking forward to the next time (just have to keep an eye on those Maine moose! =)

peace
