We drove past Halifax to the famous fishing village of Lunenburg
it was first settled by European overflow settlers from Halifax in 1750's and was set out in a very structured town design.The houses are very ornate...mostly wood and are painted in vivid colors. needless to say, painting houses is ongoing work here.

We toured a wonderful maritime museum...which described the long and dangerous fishing industry of this area.Shipbuilding has always been a part of this area too.
This is our campground overlooking the bay of Lunenburg we had one nice warm day and then it poured, needless to say this tent did not remain.
One of many colorful houses
This was the sail making display in the museum
This was the galley in the fish boat

The girls in Luenenburg
The bluenose 2 is being rebuilt in Lunenburg and we took a tour to see the work in progress.. it is actually going to be a new ship with fitings from the old one.
Mahone Bay
After such a sunny day in lunenburg the rains fell heavilywhen we panned our trip to Mahone bay just north of Lunenburg... we have missed pretty much all of the festivals along the way due to the time of year.. The scarecrow festival in mahone bay was one we could take in ....but of course a big storm set in we got a few pictures it and I got soaked in about 30 seconds of being out.
And for Noel
We headed for the Annapolis valley next about 3 hours west.
