June 15 (Day 7)

We awoke to an overcast and drizzly day in Sydney NS.  We packed, got on the bikes and headed toward Halifax  We have been eating breakfast on the road rather than before leaving.  Sort make it part of the trip.

Today it took us about 50 miles before we found a place on the route we had picked to travel. 

We found a nice Inn that had a breakfast buffet.  Made to order omelets and crepes (if you like crepes).  The price was not bad and we had a leisurely breakfast.  While we were there the rain began in earnest.  It became a heavy downpour.  We consulted the radar (the inn had  WiFi) and noted that the store was very heavy and could last a couple of hours.  We stayed for awhile and when there was a break on the storm, we loaded up and took a very direct route to Halifax. 

We arrived in Halifax at about 3 PM and had a late lunch.

After unpacking we took a side trip to Peggy's Cove.  Peggy's Cove is apparent named as such because it sits on Margaret Bay.  It has the original lighthouse from 1915 and some very interesting scenery.  The whole area is very rock and it extends into the sea. 

Here are some pictures on the way to Peggy's Cove.

 

 

After we left Peggy's Cove, we went to downtown Halifax just to see what was on in the dock area. 

 

Here are some photos.

 

 

 

Tomorrow we head to Digby and the Ferry to New Brunswick.
