Maritimes Tour 2016 - Day Six - Drive to Digby via the Side Roads

We left Sackville and took the side roads to head to Advocate Harbour near Joggins, Nova Scotia. Reason for the trip was to see some of the shoreline of the Bay of Fundy. 
Another was to eat at a place we were recommended. The Wild Caraway is tucked into Advocate Harbour and is a culinary gem. The setting of the old large house and the fantastic food was a perfect match. I had the seafood ploughman’s lunch and my wife had the pesto pasta with scallops. Delicious and worth the trip.


On the way to Masstown, we stopped at That Dutchman’s Farm which sells cheese and has a zoo. They have delicious aged Gouda and their Dragon’s Breath is a wonderful blue cheese.
We then drove to Masstown Market to pick up some local highbrush blueberries and some fruit wine. Great place to stop (see previous post here).

We then took the back roads to Windsor and stopped at the Just Us! Coffee shop, one of my favorites from previous trips. Their spicy hot chocolate is delicious.

Then it was a short 80 minute drive to Digby, my next stop to see my dad and his partner.
