We arrived in Halifax on Thursday afternoon, and the first thing we did after picking up our rental car (more on that later), was drive about an hour north to Truro in search of some waterfalls at Victoria Park. We found several falls besides the two advertised ones because it’s spring here and there’s been significant rainfall.

Getting through the town was a bit tricky, but (once we found it) the park was very nice.

Afterwards we headed to a popular spot to watch the tidal bore come in on the Salmon River off the Bay of Fundy. It wasn’t very dramatic, but it was certainly unique to witness a river completely change its directional flow.

So far the weather has been very changeable, from warm and sunny to cold and rainy in a matter of minutes. I’ll be posting more to catch everyone up on the rest of our trip now that we have reliable internet access.
