The mainland Nova Scotia is the last blog about our trip.
Once we crossed the bridge from the Cape Breton island we stopped at Guysborough for some local brewed beer and we enjoyed their beautiful view of a lake.
Then off to Halifax for a stroll at the waterfront and dinner at a local Irish pub with my husband cousins.
We stayed in Bayside, NS and had a great view of the Shad Bay with an island on it.
Next day we took a trip to a picturesque town Lunenburg, and we stopped at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its narrow streets and unique architecture.
The Scenic route took longer than we thought, and we left Peggy's Cove much later than we expected. We went almost straight for dinner to Halifax at The Press Gang. We ordered a surprise, chefs choice dinner. (The menu said right out front, no allergies and no substitutions. Sounded like an adventure.) I tried the oysters for the first time here, and I have to admit that I like them, but I was unable to taste a difference between them. Also, I ended up chewing them instead of swallowing them whole.
The next day we started our journey home, through New Brunswick and Quebec. Along the way we played "Farewell to Nova Scotia".

Next day we took a trip to a picturesque town Lunenburg, and we stopped at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its narrow streets and unique architecture.
From there we took a scenic route along the shore of the ocean to Peggy's Cove. This fishing village has been build right on the bare rock. The rock itself cannot hold any trees so the village is exposed to ocean winds.
The lighthouse itself is situated on the point the furthest into the ocean, and it is often hit with storm waves. It is wise not to walk close to the black stone as it is often covered with water. Anyone swept away by a wave, has no chance of survival.
