Hwy 332 (aka lighthouse route) to Peggy's Cove

In room breakfast with stuff we had before we make our way to Peggy's Cove. But first things first. Just 6 miles east of Lunenburg lays Blue Rock (Village) and is advertised as Lunenburg's answer to Peggy's Cove.  Still a working fishing community with blue slate rocks on the edge of the ocean. We had a little problem finding it, another one of these "blinking situations". I saw some beautiful pictures online. Mine don't come even close. First I'm taking these pictures not from the air, nor is the sun shining. Still, for us is was beautiful.

I love the combination of water, rocks and buildings

sun- show yourself...

Yesterday we drove through Mahone Bay, this time we stop. It seems this is a pretty rich community. We saw some nice houses, all very well kept. I can imagine spending a few days in that neighborhood in the summer, when the town is bustling and one can really appreciate the bright colors of the houses and stroll through the many stores and galleries. 

across the water....and take a look to the right...

....and here they are, the three churches...

Above's link is to a site from Mahone Bay. Take a look if you like. Now we head toward Peggy's Cove following the lighthouse route. Another small rural community. A must and of course the most photographed lighthouse in Nova Scotia. The parking lot next to the lighthouse and behind the huge restaurant was packed with coaches. The restaurant was full to the max. Maybe because most of the people were older and it was a pretty stiff and cold wind blowing outside. 

Just a few impressions from Peggy's Cove

 For our stay tonight we have to back track a little, back to Hubbard's right next to Hwy 103. Dauphinee Inn even has a restaurant, great! Surprise, surprise, the hotel is closed. A little piece of paper tells us to call and somebody will be with us shortly. Sure enough a few minutes later a lady stops and tells us that she is the "maid for everything"...come on in, no, sorry the restaurant is closed, we open on the 15th, no, we do not have any other guests, come on in, make yourselves comfortable and at home, you have it all for you alone, yes you can use the kitchen, use the microwave and store your food the fridge, dine in the restaurant bringing your own food...yada, yada.....un-"bleeping"-believable.

before we call it a day.
