Nova Scotia - Halifax/ Peggy's Cove


 

We moved to an RV park outside of Truro for a few days to do some touring around Halifax.

 

The day we went was a drizzly day, so we walked the boardwalk down the pier to where the cruise ships come in and over by the boats and tours. Saw a few cute ships while we were here.

 
Bridge to Halifax
 
HMS Sackville, last of the Corvettes
 
Tall ship Sylvan
 
Theodore Too - tug contender
 



From there, we went to Peggy’s cove because everyone said you have to.  I will probably be charged with heresy by some of you, but I thought it was very commercial and not as interesting as a lot of other areas we have been in the Maritimes and looking at lighthouses and area.  There were several tour buses there so I guess these tours are offered by the cruise lines and if you had never seen any bays or lighthouses before, this would have been a great one to see, but there is no tour in it nor any write up of any kind on the actual lighthouse.  (I am a bit of a lighthouse nerd you may have guessed – love seeing them and climbing when we can)

This is one of the cases of doing the touristy things that was just ok.
