Canada, day 15 and 16
Day 15, Sunday 28.09.2008: Halifax, Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg
morning we are again to Halifax in, around at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic to look at. There was as expected a lot about the Titanic issued, including small debris. Apart from that there were all kinds of the long history of seafaring in Halifax and a catastrophic explosion of a munitions ship in the port, whose explosive power was up to the dropping of the Hiroshima bomb as the greatest that was ever up to that caused by man. It went through a significant part of the city in ruins. After that, we are a good hour after Peggy's Cove down, a pretty little fishing village on the Atlantic coast. The lighthouse standing there on the rock is considered the most photographed location on the Atlantic. Hence, the crowds. The village itself is said to have only 90 inhabitants. Tourists were at least three to four times the amount there. But in spite of commercial exploitation, it was well worth seeing there, but the many people only bothered to shooting and the atmosphere of the small, isolated fishing village also suffered under it. A few yards away is the way the memorial for the 1998 crashed off the coast Swissair 111th machine Somehow, Halifax and surrounding area quite a disaster magnet, one might think. Then we drove to the Canadian equivalent of Lüneburg: Lunenburg. Unfortunately the weather was really bad there for the first time, it rained and stormed. As we have seen on TV, is announced by Hurricane Kyle in for the night. It was only a Class 1 hurricane, which, as far as what we have noticed no significant damage has been done. But he has pretty well shaken our cabin the next morning and Dodgee was also neatly camouflaged with leaves and branches. Lunenburg least we could enjoy virtually not at all because of the weather, so after a nice lunch, we also have again taken the ride home to attack.
Day 16, Mon 29/09/2008: Road Trip Day after Edmunston
Since we want to be up Wednesday in Ottawa, since today is at the staggered back towards Quebec, Ontario. As a first step we are 700km run from Halifax to Edmunston. Here we will just spend the night to continue tomorrow in the already well known to us park.From Trois-Rivieres there, it will go to Ottawa on Wednesday.
