Peggy's Cove & Lunenburg

Our day started at 6 am for a shower and a quick breakfast. From our hotel we walked half an hour to the customs office where we met with the woman responsible for the shipping in Halifax. She greeted us with the info that there might be a problem because of the funeral of the queen. All public offices are closed because of that, including the customs. So she basically left us there together with an older couple who also wanted to pick up their vehicle. After a little while a supervisor came to tell us that it is in faxt closed but we could go to the customs at the airport 🙈 We split the UBER fare and finally got the necessary stamp to pick up the van which went quite fast. After we got it, we stopped by Jason's workshop where he works as a bus mechanic.
From there we drove back to our hotel to gather the luggage, shop a bit for groceries and then head South to Peggy's Cove, a lovely little fishing village with distinct rock formations and an overlooking lighthouse. We spent about two hours just walking around and enjoying that perfect day in such a beautiful spot.
We still had some daylight left so we continued on to Lunenburg, a sweet town about 1.5 hours south of Halifax. It's known for the colonial layout of the buildings and how well preserved it is. You can easily spend half a day there exploring this settlement of originally German speaking countries, hence the name. I finally had my lobster 🦞 there! But honestly it's just too much work 😭😂
For our night spot we drove about an hour to a spot right next to the sea. It's already pretty dark, so I'll post a pic tomorrow morning.Read more
