Nova Scotia: A Magical Misty Wonderland

And here we are.  Finally a post about Nova Scotia.  Land of rocks and more rocks and really pretty houses.

Like seriously pretty.  All in pretty colours and looking like something out of Little Women or a Gothic romance novel.

Halifax, the main town, turned out to be a pretty drab which was a bit surprising and kind of disappointing but luckily we spent most of our time out of Halifax sightseeing.

Once again hiring a car for a few days turned out to be one of the best decisions we made as we were able to visit some of the lovely little villages and coves that are scattered along the coastline.  Without a car we would have been stuck in our hotel room, watching endless rounds of Love It Or List It and eating Tim Horton's cookies.

Luckily we managed to avoid this fate and the rainy mist helped to make our travels even more magical. 

From misty magic to rocky shores, one of the best places we visited was Peggy's Cove.  It's a big tourist attraction and can get really crowded but as we were there in the off season it was lovely and quiet.  Absolutely perfect for us.

Much walking and taking of photos was once again involved before we rewarded ourselves  with a hot chocolate (for me) and a lobster roll (for him).

Because yes yummy food and drink are always the best way to round out a day's outing.

With such lovely houses everywhere I even played around bit practicing my photography skills.  Something I desperately need to do more often.

Even with my rather haphazard approach to taking pics i.e. point and shoot I'm pretty happy with the results.

Now I just wish i could have a little house like the one below.

Peace and quiet, beautiful scenery and colourful houses - what more could you ask for.
