The Lunenburg Bump!

What do you get when you combine a beautiful sunny day by the sea; a two pound lobster and fit of giggles called Ann?  It's called a great day in Nova Scotia!

Mahone Bay

We got up early (relatively) this morning and hit the road for points south.  Our first stop - after Timmy's was Mahone Bay which is a beautiful village on the ocean.  It is known for the three churches whose spires reflect back from the calm, dark sea water.


After checking out the shops and having a latte, we continued on to Lunenburg - home of the Bluenose II and a world heritage site.  Every house in the town is required to meet very strict guidelines that make you feel you are stepping back into the 19th Century.  It is beautiful, if not a little distracting to maneuver a motorhome through.  The streets are pretty narrow and the hills are steep.

Lunenburg & the Bluenose II

We saw our old friend Bob - the horse that takes people on a carriage tour of the old town and who stops and looks both ways at stop signs.



We stopped at the Fish Factory and had the most delectable lobster dinner - our first of the trip.  We donned our Nova Scotia tartan lobster bibs and enjoyed a feast fit for a king.  We sat up in the restaurant overlooking the water as the little sailboats skimmed along the Bay.  It was a little windy so they were making great speed.
