Since we had a couple of days  before we could take the ferry to Newfoundland, we went to Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, but were not impressed. It was overrun with people because of the music festival they were having, and the scenery was not impressive. So we headed to Peggy's cove, which is just south of Halifax.








On the way to Peggy's Cove, we passed through Sea Bright and found this memorial to SwissAir Flight 111, an airline flight that went down in the sea near here.











The inscription on the memorial.









Peggy's Cove is a small, and very picturesque, fishing village.  We are not sure how it got the name, or who Peggy was, however.












Fishing "stuff' in Peggy's Cove.









A close-up of a lobster trap. The trap has two compartments; one is called the "kitchen", which is where they put the bait, and the other is called the "bedroom". The lobster enters the kitchen to take the bait, but goes into the bedroom in its attempt to exit the trap, and gets caught.










This lighthouse at Peggy's Cove is said to be one of the most photographed lighthouses in Canada. Considering how many people were there taking pictures of it, I can believe it. The lighthouse is also unique in another way; it contains the village post office. Since we were there on a Sunday, the post office was closed, so we couldn't see it.







Walking back to our RVs we stopped to get some ice cream cones. This seagull decided it wanted some ice cream too, so it swooped down and grabbed the ice cream cone right out of Nancy's hand! Thanks to Pat for having the presence of mind to grab this photo of the gull.


Tomorrow we drive to North Sydney to catch the ferry to Newfoundland.
