Nova Scotia so far

Our first stop in Nova Scotia - Graves Island Provincial Park
 

Historical fishing town of Lunenburg. Home of the Bluenose II but she was in Boston⚓️
 

 

Smaller town but lovely Mahone Bay.
 
Biking on the St Margaret's Bay Trail 
 
 
Hubbard's Beach 
On the way to Peggy's Cove
Lovely memorial for the very tragic Swiss Air flight 111 in 1998
 
  View from Memorial towards crash location
 
Peggy's Cove
 
 
 
 
 
Halifax on a very rainy afternoon ☂️
Very interesting time at the Citadel and then the Art Gallery.
 
 
Can't sit on those wet chairs
 
 
 
Clock Tower standing since 1803 - it is wound weekly by Parks Canada
 
Let's go indoors to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia
 
The Tiny painted House of Maud Lewis 🏡
 
 
Halifax Harbour
 Antigonish - short stop here to go to church 
Really cute town and the home of beautiful St Francis Xavier University
 
 
 
 
Next stop : Cape Breton Highlands National Park 🇨🇦
