Nova Scotia Adventure!: Day 12

Our day started early as we had to meet the ferry at 8am. It was extremely foggy when we pulled our car into the line to board the ferry, so much so that you couldn't even see the boat! But we got on early and found two comfy seats for the two and a half hour ride back to Nova Scotia. We found out that some of the crew actually live on the boat for a week at a time! The breakfast food they were cooking smelled so good, so David and I shared a breakfast! (Actually it was a second breakfast for both of us!)

This was my half after David took his half!

Driving off

We landed in Digby, which supposedly is the scallop capital of the world, but we didn't stop to sample any (unfortunately). We had an almost 3 hour drive to Peggy's Cove, which was described as a beautiful, don't miss place. We got there around 2:30, and decided to first grab some lunch. We both had seafood chowder which looked pretty but wasn't as good as any of the chowders we've had so far. Then we went outside and took in the amazing views!

Signs like this were all over the place. I said that if they really don't want people there, they'd fence it off instead of paving walking paths

After leaving Peggy's Cove we headed straight to Halifax, which was about 45 more minutes. We got to our Hotel, the Hollis Doubletree, and checked in. Then we went to the bar for a drink and to watch the end of the World Cup game that Canada was playing in. Our bartender, Callum, from Scotland!

A pretty spot we saw along the way

We went to dinner at Mercantile Social, which was just a block away. The food was delicious! Afterwards, back to our hotel bar for a glass of Baily's to cap off a great trip!
