After a delicious breakfast and good conversation at the
B&B we took a ride along a curvy sea road which wound through quiet inlets
and peninsulas to Blue Rocks. This is a
seaworn, non-commercial, hamlet nestled next to the ocean with pretty rocks and
little shanties.

We stopped at Lunenburg for lunch and did a walking tour of
the town with all its bright colored buildings and also the harbor where we saw
the famous Bluenose II in the process of being restored.

We then drove on to the Ovens which is an interesting
natural phenomenon with commanding cliffs overlooking the ocean. We walked along a trail to caves (Ovens)
where the surf surges up into the cavities and crashes. The sound reverberates and sounds like
thunder or cannons going off…..appropriately named Cannon and Thunder Caves.

Our last stop along this interesting route which our
Innkeeper mapped out for us was at Hirtles Beach, a wide expanse of sand and
ocean surf where we took a walk on the beach.

We had no rain today but it was mostly cloudy with sun on
and off. Therefore our pictures didn’t
do justice to the vivid colors.
