Our ferry docked in Yarmouth at 7am. After clearing customs we were directed by a local resident to the Grand Hotel for breakfast. With full bellies we worked our way up the southern shore with stops at Shelburne, Mahone Bay (for lunch), Lunenburg (home port of the Bluenose 2 sailing vessel), Blue Rocks (my favorite), and Peggy’s Cove. We reached Halifax in time for dinner at the Economy Shoe Box restaurant (gets an A for ambience but only a B for the food) after which we strolled down to the waterfront where we caught one good and one bad act of the Halifax International Busker Festival. Another 30 minutes of driving brought us to Lawrencetown where we are renting an Airbnb home for the next three nights. The place is right on the water and could not be more magnificent.
