Nova Scotia and on to New Brunswick

From North Sydney, we traveled to Halifax. Now that's a big city. We toured Peggy's Cove. Above is a Monument to the fisherman of that area. Peggy's Cove is named due to a women being washed up from a wreck in the cove and everyone going to see her referred to her as Peggy of the Cove.


Another Lighthouse. Peggy's Cove was really pretty, but run over with tourist. Four or five Tour Buses came in while we were there. We don't care for crowds, and it ruins the beauty of the place, too much noise to enjoy.

The next day we visited the Bay of Fundy from the Nova Scotia side. Of course there was fog so the pictures look a little blurred. Below is a dock that we passed on the way to hike and these boats were just tied to the wharf. Nothing unusual .
Right, on the way back, the tide had gone out and as you see, the boats are on bottom. The water was way out, and couldn't even be seen.
Below is a picture of the Bay from the end of our hike. If you look carefully, you can see the flow of the water, it's going out.

The last day in Nova Scotia turned out to be beautiful in the morning. We toured the Citadel (a fort manned by the Highland Scots to protect Halifax from the French).
We also toured the harbor. The replica of the Amistad Tall Ship was docked there. This is called the Freedom ship that the slaves took over the ship in 1839. This ship is in Halifax to celibrate the 175th anniversary of the freedom from Slavery.



Around noon, we finally made it to a beautiful secluded beach on the east coast of Nova Scotia. We spent several hours, just relaxing and soaking up the Sun. (Bill, I did get to swim!) It was a fitting end to Beautiful Nova Scotia.








Next was New Brunswick. The first time through, we missed some things. One was Hopewell Rocks. Above, Bob and I enjoyed a couple of hours of weaving the Kayak through the Flowerpots of Hopewell Rocks.


This opening in the rocks at low tide is what we kayaked thru at high tide.











Tomorrow, we move on down to St. John New Brunswick. Rain is expected, so we may not stop. Our goal is the Reversing Falls that we did not see on the way up.
