Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia

Elwin in front of Visitor's Center at Peggy's Cove, NS. Love the bench!

The weather here is rainy for the next week. Despite the rain and fog we traveled to Peggy's Cove on the South shore of Nova Scotia, right next to Halifax. It rained on the way there, but stopped after we got there. The fog settled in a bit around Peggy's Cove. We had lunch at a nice little place called The Finer Diner. They had a great lobster sandwich and some fries and coleslaw. We got to sit outside on the deck and look at the bay area, near Peggy's Cove. Quaint little place. We were the only customers for a little while. The service was good and the food excellent. I would have loved to do more, but as always the day gets away from you when you have to travel distances to get to destination. This island is so big, even a central location makes a long day to anywhere. We hope to do the Minas Basin to the Bay of Fundy tomorrow. They have what they call a Tidal Bore here which is a tidal wave that comes in when high tide moves in. Hope to catch that wave while we are here.

The story of the name.

Lobster traps and buoys, a way of life on the waters here.

Beginning of Peggy's Cove, NS.

The drive in was over mountains of green, lush pine forests. The drive into Peggy's Cove was winding roads along a beautiful coastline. Unfortunately, it was foggy along the water. It still was a site to see. Pinch me, I love being here. I have always dreamed of going here, and I am living that dream.

Elwin found a fishing buddy!
