After a comfortable night, some of us gathered on the restaurant balcony of the Castle Rock Inn to look out down the hillside and across the sea before going in for an excellent breakfast, our first hot one.
Into the van again, and we were driven down Cape Breton, which I was very sad to leave. The sun continued to shine while I took far too many drive-past photos, most of which didn't work. There was one house we drove past that has umpteen wooden cut outs of Simpson cartoon characters.
It seemed like a very long drive today, although the views of the sea and cliffs were lovely.
Lunch was as good as ever but in a parking lot behind a gaming place.
Onwards and down Nova Scotia to Halifax, to the Best Western Chocolate Lake hotel, which looked out over a lake with people playing and swimming round it.
We had a short break before we got back in the van for the drive to Peggy's Cove, a small, very pretty fishing village. The coastline comprises huge granite rocks, which are a natural playground. The village is home to the most photographed lighthouse in Canada, so we spent a while taking pictures of it, of the village and boats.
Dinner was in the restaurant overlooking the lighthouse, with the sun going down behind it.
