Amherst
Gateway RV Park was our temporary home while in Amherst.
We picked a spot out in back with an attractive view.  Gotta love that big windshield.
We took a drive to Cape d'Or lighthouse.  This is a lookout (or lookoff in Canada) for the lighthouse.
Wow!  Nice view!  See the currents clashing in the Bay of Fundy.
After arriving at the lighthouse we were treated to a beautiful shoreline.
Wow again!  This was definitely worth the walk down.
Pretty beach rose.
And pretty as a flower!
We stayed at Dunromin Campground.  Of course, we're not done roaming in the least!
We had a nice sunset on our first night.
Annapolis Royal surprised us with a number of nice homes/B&B's like this one.
Did someone say "Farmer's Market!"?!!  This one of the nicer ones we have seen.
This boat just looked like it needed a picture taken.
Hey! Clean up that tire before you leave! That's Granville Ferry across the way.
We toured the grounds of Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal.
This is the location of the historic Officer's Barracks and now houses the museum.
Looking across the Annapolis Basin to the town of Granville Ferry where the fort was first located.
The first Fort Anne was here on the north side of the basin before being moved to Annapolis Royal.
Susan toured the Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens which included this representation of an Acadian cottage.
On one of our trips in the area the tides were out, giving us our first view of the effect of the tides.
We enjoyed kayaking at Kejimkujik National Park. This is more fun when Susan does all the paddling.
We took the kayak into some very scenic areas.
On our way through the park we saw this view and the one tree in the distance changing color.
As we left the park this guy, his mom and siblings hurried across the road in front of us.
Wayside-Supercity RV Park was a great location for our time near Peggy's Cove.
Across the road from our campsite was this view. Ooohh... Ahhhh.
Another very picturesque view near our campground.
A nice view of Halifax and a sailing ship.
Our first trip to Halifax was on a foggy, cloudy day.  There was a moderately interesting walk along the wharf.
Tugs waiting for their ship to come in.
Bill is smitten by this wooden bow decoration.  Too much time at sea Bill?
We toured the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
Of course, sailing is a big part of Halifax's history.
The museum had a great model display of many ships that plied the waters in this area.
The Old (200 years old) Town Clock of Halifax is one of the city's famous landmarks.
They sure built some of the buildings narrow back in the old days!
We drove south to go whale watching. Here we cross by ferry to Tiverton.
Tiverton is "quaint". Hey that isn't our whale tour outfitter is it?!!
Whew! Ocean Explorations our whale tour operator was just next door.
Our trusty boat awaits. It's the small one, where 10 other people will join us.
Susan is all about fashion.
Bill says, "Can we get this show on the road, its getting hot!"
We were lucky to spot three humpbacks a mile or two from the shore.
We followed the pod for about 45 minutes.  Here they are seen giving us the fluke.

Peggy's Cove
Our first visit to Peggy's Cove was a little dreary, but it still had lots of charm.
The light fog made the area just a little bit more mysterious.
This is John Beale and he is the eclectic and humorous star of the Peggy Show.
The venue for the "Peggy Show" is the Old Red Schoolhouse.
John Beale is depicting the return of Peggy to the cove.  A wet and wild show.
Again, the foggy conditions enhanced the charm of Peggy's Cove.
However, that same view on a sunny day is quite nice too!
Peggy's Cove is all about the lighthouse and the rocks.  Lots of rocks.
Celtic music is popular in Nova Scotia.  The music of bagpipes wafting over the area was nice.
Looking up the coast from the lighthouse.
The sea was very active on this calm day.  Must be harsh during the winter.
This view is back toward the "very" small town of Peggy's Cove.
On one day we took a long (180 mile) drive around the Cabot Trail. Can you tell it was beautiful?
There were lots of views like this along the way.
We stopped here and ate lunch while sitting on this very bench.
Another coastal view along the trail.
This is Black Brook Beach and is popular with the tourists and locals.
Susan gets wet again, but this time in the North Atlantic at Black Brook Beach.
At the "top of the island" is Bay St. Lawrence. This was our furthest point north and east.
On our trip back along the northwestern side of the Cabot Trail we enjoyed many views like this.
This view along the Cabot Trail is the subject of many pictures of this area.
This is a picture of an aerial picture of Cheticamp.
Looking for sourdough french bread we stopped at this bakery in Cheticamp. No bread, but good cookies.
Cheticamp had another bakery, but alas no joy in finding good sourdough.
We discovered the "World Famous" Scarecrow Farm of Cheticamp.
The forest primeval.  Is the tree eating the rock?  Check back in a century or so.
We hiked the lovely, but damp, Uisge Ban Falls Trail above Baddeck.
There's a fungus among us.  Susan wanted to saute it for dinner - uh, no!
Another view of the Uisge Ban Falls.
We visited the Alexander Graham Bell Museum.  He had a summer home and lab in Baddeck.
Many of Bell's inventions were on display.  However, he was most interested in helping the deaf.
The view from the Museum across Beddeck's harbor was lovely.
This picture of a picture depicts Fortress Louisbourg, an 18th Century walled city.
We were blessed with a warm, sunny day to tour the beautiful fortress.
And Susan complains about her nose. There was a story behind this woman's sausage nose.
The conversation? "Hi honey, what's for dinner?"
The military presentation was a popular event for the spectators.
Looks well defended, but in its day they lost miserably.
In the 16th century this bay would have been full of ships.
The Fiddle at the Sidney Seaport represents Cape Briton's Celtic musical traditions.
Here they are again, just cruising along.
After we left the humpbacks we came across this much smaller Minke whale.
This is one of the few areas where you can see Puffin birds in the wild.
Check out this movie of the whales while they cruised along side of us.
Lunenburg
 
The Three Churches at Mahone Bay are well known for their beauty.
Lunenburg was having its annual seafood festival - so we had fish for lunch.
Our restaurant of choice was the Rumrunner.
Lunenburg doesn't have many streets, but most look like this.
No Seafood Festival is complete without a nice parade.
Apparently guys on stilts need to do stretches to warm up.
A colorful mural on the side of this Lunenburg building.
Sailboats were out and about just up the road in Chester.
