Weekend on South Shore of Nova Scotia

After Mitchells get-together in Halifax, we headed to Lunenburg. We stayed at the Alicion B&B. It was origionally called the Senator, until a couple from BC purchased it. They are in their 3rd year of operation. It was absolutely lovely.

Our room was at the front of the house on the second floor, it was called the Dragonfly Room. At breakfast we met a couple and their daughter from Clagary. They were there to pick up their younger daughter who had come in on the Concordia the day before. We also met a young couple from New York.


When we arrived it was so foggy we couldn't see across the harbour. This picture we got at around 2000hr. after the fog lifted. Pictured are the Bluenose and Concordia.


Throughout Old Lunenburg you see on the poles along the streets these metal figures.


We also saw lobsters, crabs, and clams.




The detail on the buildings is quite striking. A number of home owners were doing renovations to their homes and businesses.

The buildings are quite an array of colors, from bright oranges, greens and pinks to pastel purples, peaches and reds.

Saturday afternoon we headed to Mahone Bay. These are the 3 sisters.

We drove around areas close to Lunenburg before heading to Mahone Bay....this is Bluerocks....again foggy and damp.




Sunday we drove to Chester, Hubbards, St. Margarets Bay. We had fog, drizzle and the sun tried real hard to make an appearance. When we reached Halifax it was raining. When we approached the New Brunswick the sun was shining. A true maritime day....a mixture of everything.
