The graceful lighthouse at Peggy's Cove sits high upon the smooth wave-worn granite of the coast.
It is Canada's only post-office located in a lighthouse. We had a light chowder with English tea at 'THE SOU'WESTER GIFT RESTAURANT'.
Then we head to downtown Halifax. People say it looks like San Francisco. We parked at our b&b called 'THE GARDEN INN' (1263 South Park Street, Halifax). A registereed Heritage home of 1875. We walked then to downtown and enjoyed a tour around the great MARITIME MUSEAM OF THE ATLANTIC, which proudly displays over 20,000 maritime artifacts, shipreck treasures, small crafts, ship replicas and informative displays of the catastrophes of the Halifax explosion and the Titanic disaster.
