Day 26 Annapolis Royale

We found sunshine albeit late in the day in Annapolis Royale.  It was actually warm and felt like summer.

Julie was most impressed with her first stay at a bed and breakfast.   We managed to stay at an old large Inn filled with antiques.  Kings and queens and lords and prime ministers have stayed here over the years, as well as a few celebrities.  Our room was large with two four poster single beds and Queen Ann chairs and a clawfooted bathtub.  In the morning we were served an elegant breakfast  in a large impressive dining room with double doors out to the wide porch and gardens.  All this and sunshine too!

I was most impressed with the history and the museum.   There are fascinating artifacts which go back to the 1600's when the French and English spent most of their time fighting each other, both here and in Europe.

I was surprised that there were not more apple orchards (although we did see a few in full bloom the next day  when we resumed our travels.
