South to Liverpool


From our stop in Glen Margaret we headed south mostly following the coast line passing through lots of little fishing villages with their lighthouse. In England it's cathedrals, in Nova Scotia it is lighthouses and lots of fairly large wooden churches. We stopped at Lunenburg to visit one of the tall ships participating in the tall ships festival which is a race from England, we think, and ending in Halifax. We walked the old town with its houses dating back to the early 17th Century (see enclosed picture). With night approaching we found a camping ground close to a beach with a lovely boardwalk out over the swamp with lots of birdlife.
