We were happy to find electricity and water at our next location, Peggy's Cove, a picturesque, rugged cove and coastline. There is little soil here amongst the rocks, so no big trees to fall in a storm. And if there were, they'd fall in the seasonal nor'easters that hit most winters.
Our B+B is the only one in town and these sunsets/sunrise were taken from our deck.

Near Peggy's Cove we found lots of rocky hikes and vistas. Many things were closed because of the hurricane, so we spent most of the time hiking.

We headed to nearby Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on our way to Halifax, our next stop. It is a small port town, home to Nova Scotia's sailboat the Bluenose (Nova Scotians are called blue noses), and unique 18th and 19th century colonial architecture.
