A fellow camper confirmed our thoughts that the Kejimkujik National Park was worth stopping at and was a great place to camp. We headed inland for about an hour or two and found the park which covers an area of about 200sq km and is the home to lots of birds, deer, turtles and bears to name a few. We spent 2 nights in the park. The next morning we took a (12km round trip) hike through the bush down to the Merrymakedge beach. On the way back we stopped at Jack's Landing and hired a real Canadian Canoe and took a paddle for an hour or so up the river. The stillness and quietness was only broken by the noise of the paddle in the water and the song of the birds. At night we once more dined "chez nous" on delicious rhubarb and strawberry pie!
