Our last day was spent on the the South Shore of Nova Scotia
First Stop ~ Peggy's Cove
Peggy's Cove is always a great place to visit ~
Unfortunately every tourist bus and tourist visiting the Maritimes likes to visit as well.
Fishermen's Monument in the village of Peggy's Cove
Just down the road from Peggy's Cove is the
Memorial to Swissair Flight 111
This was a flight headed from New York to Switzerland
The flight crashed into the Atlantic Ocean about 5 miles from shore.
All 229 people aboard the flight perished.
This was a very solemn, peaceful place.
Off for a yummy lunch!
Aisling and I both had lobster club sandwiches with seafood chowder at the Finer Diner in Hackett's Cove.
We had a great time in Lunenburg County.
Stops in Mahone Bay and Lunenburg.
In Lunenburg, we took a tour of Lunenburg with a horse and carriage.
Such a fun, fun day!!
We had a great time with Aisling!!
The time came to a close so quickly!!
Our airport good-byes!
I hope every reader of your blog remembers the sign from Peggys Cove which says "savour the sea from a distance"! We have way too many people, locals and tourists who tempt fate every time they visit and at least once a year we loose someone.... I'm sad you didn't get a picture of the horse drawn carriage... it would have been fun to see you two young ladies all decked out... lunch looks yummy too, I'm going to have to find some of these diners!
ReplyDeleteI wanted a picture with the horse & carriage, but given the circumstances, it just wasn't possible. :)
