Posted by: The Agnew Family
It was off into the National Park again today for some more hiking.
The drive to the first trail head was a little foggy.
The first trail was in an old hardwood forest.
Two of the hikes took us to waterfalls.
After the hikes we drove to Pleasant Bay and followed a road that followed the shore and wound through the hills. Eventually we came across the Gampo Abby a Buddhist monastery that was established in 1983.
One of the buildings and the gardens at the abbey.
The Stupa of Enlightenment. Information Boards explained the Stupa and what was involved in creating it. It was very interesting.
We stopped off at the Pleasant Bay Harbour.
A crab boat was unloading. The guys were really friendly and were happy to show off the crabs. The first day of crabbing was very successful.
Working hard weighing and packing the live crab for shipment. These ones were destined for New Brunswick.
Back at the wharf in Cheticamp, where they were also busy unloading crabs. Here's a boat loaded with crabs coming into the harbour.
