... Wir durften sogar das Bier degustieren. Gesungen und gepokert wurde auch noch. Das war wirklich ein Spass. Beim Herausgehen dachten wir uns noch, toll, und das gibt es gratis! Nachdem wir uns mit ein paar Souvenirs eingedeckt zur Kasse bewegten, gab es doch das so ein Schild: Der Eintritt mit Showanimation würde 16 Dollar pro Person kosten......hüstel, hüstel.....

Nach einer regnersichen und stürmischen Nacht ging es heute auf dem Marine Drive Richtung Halifax. Das Wetter war nicht wirklich toll, es war ein grauer Tag.
Auch die Landschaft fanden wir nicht überragend. Es gab unterwegs viele abgestorbene Bäume zu sehen.
Dieser Tag geht leider ohne ein Foto zu Ende.

... bis anhin. Daher hatte es wohl auch soviele Baustellen unterwegs. Hier wird allerdings gleich eine ganze Fahrbahn gesperrt. Da steht dann auch ein Mann/Frau mit einem Stoppsignal. Bei einer Baustelle standen wir über 5 Minuten. Man stelle sich das in der Schweiz vor. Mord und Totschlag wären ja schon fast vorprogrammiert.

Am Ende des Tages sind wir ...

Continuing around St. Margaret’s Bay we enter French Village and spy access to the St. Margaret’s Bay Trail, an old railroad trail that is now shared use, hike, bike, ATV, x-country skiing and snowmobiles. It was raining lightly but we decided to hop on the bikes and ride for a little ...

... ol BBC had a show on the restoration of the gardens.  Today it is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen, with a jungle section, rose gardens, Italian fountains and tons more (farm animals anyone?).  We had a great time checking it out and enjoying the sunny (!) weather.  Here's the site as its an experience in itself ... http://www.heligan.com. Anyways after that delightful experience we headed into Mevagissey and ...

... in the photo, very crowded, so the lighthouse wasn’t really the highlight for me. If you walk a little way down the rocks away from the lighthouse there are less people around and you can just look out to the ocean and see whales. There were a few whales out there that day. So that was really cool. And of course I walked around town and took pictures of all the houses and the actual cove and fishing boats. Peggy’s Cove is a fishing town by the way, with just 29 full ...

... Hubbards, this little village is also a real find and we had a great two nights stay at Hubbards Rv campground. Can you believe they also had a great sandy beach, that would match most we have seen.
Yesterday we travelled back into Halifax and spent the afternoon sailing on a friends sailboat. We really enjoyed the views from the water, including close up contact with a whale and the famous Bluenose schooner, and many many seals.
 

... of an unknown 3 year old boy so affected the crew and the public that many strangers attended his funeral. I met Shylo in a coffee shop and together we drove to her lovely and large home just outside of the city. I got to meet Scooter the effervescent dog and Pumpkin the elusive cat and we made carrot and ginger soup for dinner. Shylo works as a police officer and she's originally from Ontario. While her work is a bit quiet and repetitive, she enjoys it here.

... for Canada. Man, that's rude. We're allowed up to $300 of goods purchased and I thought I was way over but I started adding things up and I had trouble reaching $200! Hope I didn't forget anything. Moreover, I hope I get my bag!
So, I gotta get my bag, get to Dorval, go to Tom's house to get my house key (hope his Mom's home at least) and then have fun ...
