We visit the South Shore!!

We decided that the last day was the best day to visit the South Shore - which is somewhat prettier than the Bay of Fundy shore in a more touristy way! It was quite amusing as wouter and Zu assumed that there would be coffee shops right by the ocean - but of course we had to drive quite a distance on Hwy 3 before we found one!! It was lovely though - at Hubbards Cove - the Dauphinee Inn. Here they are enjoying coffee and apple pie!


After we had our coffee and lovely apple crumble (which was home made!) We carried on driving around to Mahone Bay where they were having a small festival by their harbour.
















At left are oxen getting ready for demonstration - probably an ox pull which is popular in this part of the world. Then we drove on to Lunenburg a world heritage site and home of the Bluenose.



The picture below is of the brightly coloured houses in Lunenburg.













This picture is of Lunenburg harbour but the picture is not great from the same side - you have to be on the water.














We drove back to Harbourville to prepare for the first Lobster dinner Wouter and Zu had ever eaten. I also picked up Nova Scotia Scallops on the way as a treat for them both - again they had never eaten them. We had fun preparing and eating the feast and sat on he deck. Zue became an expert very quickly and helped all of us with the preparation of the Lobster.

The photo on on the left is Muriel showing the guys how to break the lobster front legs (taught to her by the pound guys at Hall's Harbour) by taking the lobster by the body and bending the legs backward! It works a treat!

The day ended with another lovely sunset.
