Travel day from the Annapolis Royal area to the Peggy Cove area. In doing this we crossed of the lower part of Nova Scotia on highway 8, arriving on the eastern shores near Liverpool. There we headed northward towards Halifax. On the way we stopped at Lunenburg, a small fishing village with several good resturants. The Fisherries Museum of the Atlantic is located here on the wharf of the city. It is filled with everything you would ever want to know about commericial fishing. This is also the home of BLUE NOSE, the Canadian tall ship. However it was out of port during our visit. As a side trip, we ventured out to the BLUE ROCKS area. This is a Peggy Cove without the many visitors. There are many little bays with rocks, houses and fishing boats. The tide in this area is not as severe at in the Bay of Fundy, only about 12 feet maximum. The old, ornate house on this entire trip have been spectucular. It would be fun to own one, BUT a lot of work to maintain it. Our campground is located right on a small bay. The fog rolled in about 5pm and added atmosphere to our sites.
