Shag Harbour: Ignoring the blindingly obvious opportunity for puerile jokes at the expense of the residence of Shag harbour I shall move on with the story. On the way back North, we took the coastal Lighthouse route which passes through Shag harbour, world famous for the 1967 UFO crash, well that is what it said on the sign anyway. The museum was shut but a notice on the wall explained all. In 1967 on a dark and foggy night several people saw a dark object splash into the water. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police could not find anything and neither could the Coast Guard. In fact, to this day no physical evidence of the alien craft or the crew has ever been found. I mean, I ask you, what more evidence do you need? Very sneaky those aliens.

If it wasn’t true then why the sign? And it is foggy.

A Lobster fisherman’s artistic impression of what the Aliens may have looked like.

Yarmouth: The Uk already has two Yarmouth’s and one of them is Great but not to be outdone the Canadians have created another. Here are the Wikipedia quick facts about Yarmouth Nova Scotia.

Yarmouth is a town in southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada. A port town, industries include fishing, and tourism. It is the terminus of a ferry service to Bar Harbour, Maine, run by Bay Ferries.

I can say no more.

The road to Yarmouth would make any self-respecting Roman proud.

Liverpool: While in Nova Scotia, which is in Canada, we went to Liverpool to eat at a German restaurant called Pauls. Having been taught by Jan and Hanna on the Atlantic crossing how to say Bratwurst properly the ordering process was very easy and we managed to eat very well. It was actually a very friendly and pretty little place with a wide river called unsurprisingly the Mersey. The river was wide and very placid due mainly to a very picturesque weir situated just upstream of the town centre.   The sign on the way in said that it was the port of Privateers (Pirates) but I make no illusions or infer no similarities with its namesake in England Ah Lad.

Welcome to Liverpool. Port of the Privateers and spiritual home of the locking wheel nut.

A very pretty Weir. The brown water is caused by the peaty soil and is perfectly clean.
