Lucky, lovely livin' --part 3

Onto St. Andrews, NB, home to a recent great white shark sighting (nice). We wisely declined swimming in the ocean in favour of the Algonquin Resort pool, cool as it was. 

Scott says it best in his description of the Algonquin. It ticked all the boxes and was great for us, but the resort itself could be so much more spectacular if it maintained more of its original charm.  It had a fridge and freezer in our room, so I'll take it. 

Next was The Creepy Inn. I can't even remember the actual name of that place anymore!!!  So promising as we drove up, but the myriad fake plants on the porch were a giveaway. 

You can't win them all. 

Lucky, lovely livin' -- part 2

I've already posted many of our photos of our accommodations, so forgive me if there are repeats. 

After St. John's, we went to Fogo Island. Visceral. See previous Fogo posts. 

I am all about the details, and the detail of the wallpaper in our room thrilled me. They're all pictures of Fogo attributes. 

Then Halifax. Our accommodation was a departure from inns and heritageness and all about simple needs and location: Homewood Suites by Hilton, two blocks from the Citadel and three blocks from the waterfront boardwalk. It was a mini condo, very beige, not worthy of photos, predictably clean and organized, and with a full fridge and freezer, a gold medal asset when you're traveling with insulin. 

A drive along quiet Nova Scotia roads led us to gorgeous Annapolis Royal and the Queen Anne Inn.  Laszlo, the Innkeeper, was so friendly and kind, which always adds to a place's appeal. What is it about a huge 19th century house surrounded by massive trees?  

Love the queen and king on the wall. Do you know which ones they are?

Bay windows for everyone!  And the scenery outside...tranquility. 

I'd stay there again.
