The ocean drive from the southern tip of NS to just below Halifax is called the lighthouse route. One of the more spectacular spots on the route is Peggy's Cove and probably the most photographed spot in NS. It is a very small fishing and lobstering village. The landscape is massive granite boulders. Peggy's Cove is reputedly named after the only survivor of a schooner that sank here in 1800. A more recent disaster struck here on Sept 2, 1998 when Swiss Air flight 111 crashed just off shore and all 229 on board perished. Can't believer we are having such great weather, crystal clear, sunny and warm.
We stopped at a lobster pound on the way out of Peggy's Cove and bought a 4 pound live lobster, waited while they steamed it and took to our next stop for lunch, no need for dinner tonight.
Pics, light house at Peggy's cove, ditto, fish shacks, it takes big balls to be a fisherman at Peggy's Cove and lobster lunch.
That's quite the lobster! My mouth is watering just looking at it! Sounds like you are continuing to have a wonderful journey. Don't forget about us down here in the land of heat and humidity - take care!
