    Try the Kejimakujik (spelling is off) park or reserve.  Trying to reach
    Halifax/Dartmouth (and back) would be a bit of a haul.  There is Mill
    Village on the south shore as well.  That's where the underwater
    telephone cable to Europe and Bermuda start, might be interesting
    depending what you're into.

    I believe there is something called Peggy's Cove on the way
    to Halifax. Never made it myself, I went the other way to
    Digby to visit an old childhood friend and neighbor.

    Peggy's cove is fairly close to Halifax, so if you want to see it, it
    might be worth your while to stay overnight, if you have the time.

    ps - then again, all you'll see are a bunch of rocks, with houses on
    stilts and a lighthouse near the beach.  We cruised in, looked around,
    noticed it looked alot like the post cards you can buy, and then headed
    back to Bridgewater....

    Hey Mary Jo
    
     If your still looking for info read on...
    
     Yarmouth NS Local things to do..with no car
              
            Walk Main street from Schooners Bar/Grill to the Park
            but go into the stores you'll be surprised how friendly
            the folks are. Keep in mind your better off going to the bank
            to convert your money(there are three on Main st.
            Keep in mind if driving The RCMP's have control in town and
            although friendly/polite they dont take no BS.
            Try the clothing stores for NS tartan either cloth or
            pre-mades are available...
     
             If money is tight than try the "leo's??" for lightly expensed
            "take-homes" (not sure of name but it is just up the hill from
             the ferry/customs and to the left and inexpensive!)
    
             Fireman's museum ..on Main street
             Hood's Jewelry (nice looking stuff)
             Go the dock area and walk the dock nobody minds. And there
             usually are Trawlers from all over..talk to a Russian there
             are usually USSR trawlers and a factory ship offshore.
             
             There is anew Pizza place(the only one) That I hear is
             pretty decent...also try some Rappie Pie a local dish that
             is great         
    
        If you have a car:
    
            As you come up the hill from the ferry dock take aleft onto
            main street and proceed past MacDonalds following the signs
            to "Forchu Light" you know it as The Yarmouth light. You can
            drive directly to it and walk the area..very scenic.
    
            If you go back to Mac's and take a left at the lights than
            proceed by Canadian tire and Zeller's shopping center and the
            Yarmouth airport within 15 minutes you will be the Tusket area
            and Mary JO and haven't seen the REAL Novi until you've been
            to the Tusket Island area(gee can you tell where I'm from?)
    
            Keep in mind the people are very friendly and a polite hi or
            conversation goes far where as a arrogant/touristy attitude
            goes nowhere..there are many coves and a lot of docks you can
            either fish from or sit on and relax..only when the RCMP's are
            around or a bootlegger or a lobster fisherman (out of season)
            will you detct any tension. 
    
            I seem to be getting to wordy and this is getting to long..
    
            Call me or send mail for further info on the Yarmouth area
            I dont know the area's outside Yarmouth in detail as there
            is never a need to leave the the Tusket/Surrettes Island area.
    
            Enjoy there are no friendlier people than the Canadians of
            the Maritimes.
    
            Thanks
            Bob Brown alias Canuck! and damm proud of it!
