2025 Volendam, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada...

Today was our last Canadian port, Halifax, Nova Scotia and I braved the wind and cold to capture the sail in photos. We rented a car near the pier and headed to Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove. Our stop in Halifax was shorter than normal so with time being a concern we decided to forego a stop in Mahone Bay. Arriving at the picturesque town of Lunenburg, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, we made our regular first stop at the Bluenose Golf Course for a panoramic view across the harbor to the town of Lunenburg. In town, we parked the car and walked around taking in the historic painted buildings, streetscapes and the waterfront.  The weather was picture-perfect…and not too many tourists around. Albeit a quick trip it was a fabulous day in Lunenburg.  Our next stop was Peggy's Cove, famous for its Lighthouse and picturesque maritime working fishing village. The village has colorful wooden houses and lobster boats moored in the harbor. Peggy’s Point Lighthouse is a very popular tourist attraction and today was no exception. It was another beautiful fall day touring Nova Scotia’s South shore with the start of the Nova Scotia fall colors and the reflection shots made the day… Just a great day!!! So long Canada and on to Eastport Maine. We are looking forward to our Morimoto Dinner this evening in the Pinnacle Grill with our friend Florin.
