Peggy’s Cove

Well, yesterday when we entered Nova Scotia, we stopped at the Provincial Welcome Center. The people were very helpful. Jill explained that she was trying to find a campground near Peggy’s Cove. They got us into one in Ludenburg. Last night we were looking at the map and checked drive time to Peggy’s. Cove and it is over an hour. They also recommended a route that would avoid Halifax. This morning we decided to take the main highway towards Halifax, thinking it may be a better road. And it was except for the first 20km that was being repaved. Anyway, this brought us by Peggy’s Cove before the campground. So we drove in and started looking for a place to park. It’s Sunday and the place is packed! Finally we found several long parking places by a restaurant, so we pulled in. That’s when a guy wearing an orange vest ran over and yelled at us to move, these are for buses. We hand looked for bus only signs, but there weren’t any. So we had to disconnect the Jeep to back out. We finally parked the motorhome out by the main road. We ate lunch near by and then went out to the point and parked the Jeep. We wandered around the area taking photos. The granite rocks, lighthouse, little harbor and the houses and buildings provided awesome photo ops, but the sky was lightly overcast, so light shadows but lots of people. So we move on to the campground in Ludenburg. We pulled in, but since there was no one to check us in, we had difficulty finding our site. We finally got into the correct one.Read more
