Halifax, Nova Scotia

The on off bus was not in service yet so we got a taxi and headed out to Peggys' Cove. Peggy's Cove was named for St. Margaret but over the years was shortened to Peggy's Cove. What an amazing place built on a rough rocky coastline! The wind was about 35 mph with heavy gusts. The ocean was beating against the rocks. It was very beautiful and exciting. We had some Ginger bread and hot chocolate, Yum! The clerk said the gingerbread was $8 we said never mind, but then she said," I agree I'm going to just put it in as a pastry." So we got gingerbread and two drinks for $10. What a sweetheart. We sat outside in adirondak chairs. We had to both hold onto the box to keep it from flying away. We didn't have to clean up crumbs because they just blew away. ha!

There was also a monument remembering the Swiss flight that crashed in 1998. there were no survivors. Along this coast rescue is almost impossible. There have been several deaths at Peggy's Cove because people go too far out on the rocks trying to get a good picture and are washed away by a wave. There are warning signs everywhere, but no fences.

Back intern we stopped by the cemetery where some of the victims of the Titanic are buried.

Next stop was the Citadel. This fortress as been active for hundreds of years being updated several times. After WWII it was decided that it should be kept as a monument as it capabilities were limited. The Scottish Highlander division still keep guard.
