Sister...Cousins......Peggy and the Ovens

Hi all when I last type we were heading for Yarmouth and the southern tip of Nova Scotia.  We spent 3 nights in Yarmouth and had a great time. We hooked up with June's sister Janet. Janet and her friend Claude were out visiting a good friend of theirs on Morris Island. It was about a 30 minute drive from the RV park to Morris Island and we spent an afternoon and evening telling lies drinking beer and BBQ'ing. Ah what a nice way to spend an evening. 

All I could think of was "Oh Tommy Toad"

We spent one day walking the sea wall around the downtown of Yarmouth.

Got to have the welcome sign.

These "toy houses were all over town. They were a fund raiser for a Hospice.

We left Yarmouth and headed up to Bridgewater for 2 nights. We finally got rained out for the first part of the day. We headed out for some sight seeing but the weather and tides were against us. We were going to stay longer but with it being the long weekend the campsite was full so we headed to Kelly's Cousin's place in Lower Sackville. They had the longest drive way so they lost the draw and got us. Sheri and Steve were great hosts for the next 6 days. We went for a drive down to "The Ovens" a place where the wave action has eroded long caves into the shore. We spent several hours there exploring around.

Thunder Cave.........Well named

You could climb down onto a viewing platform on this one......Kelly with the thumbs up.

Cave entrance.....The colours in the rocks ...wow

Junkel in the Rocks

Kelly was hoping that when the tide went out you could walk up into the caves but alas no. In the 1800's they pulled a lot of gold out of here and you can still pan for gold today......for a fee.

Since we couldn't walk up into the caves we left and headed for one of our favourite places. Peggy's Cove. I know it is a cliche but it is so cool walking around on the rocks and it is a photographers dream place.

June and the Lighthouse ......Just a little windy

I wonder why all the rocks are so smooth?

June caught me doing what I like.

Back in Lower Sackville we made trips into Halifax and walked the water front, Citadal Hill, the public gardens and had a good meal out with Sheri and Steve. Steve had shown us around city hall earlier. It was high tech inside and 230 plus years old on the outside.

We left Lower Sackville on Thursday the 4th of September and went to Murray Harbour North on PEI. We will spent 4 days here taking in the sites.

Take care and thank-you for reading this.
