I left Dartmouth this morning to rain.... so I was orange again. Dartmouth and Halifax have got to be the worst ever places for directional signs. I was trying to find my way across the Macdonald bridge and there is no signage whatsoever and once you get over the bridge there is still no signage to let you know how to get to the hwy...
Anyway, once I got onto Hwy 333, I was on my way to Peggy's Cove. What a cool place! Again, every time you turned around, you want to take another picture. I met a family there from Switzerland and they were here to visit the memorial which is just down the road for SwissAir flight 111. It kind of personalized for me when I stopped there just moments after leaving the cove. I then followed Hwy 3 which winds its way in and out of the bays and harbours down the south coast of NS. After leaving Lunenburg it meets the 103 and it was at this point it started to pour... I really mean POUR! For the next hour and a half I rode into driving rain. I can honestly say that it was the worst I have ever ridden in. About 50 km from Yarnouth it stopped but I didn't even realize it because the road spray and my windshield and glasses were so wet... you get my drift. In Yarmouth I found the Tim Hortons and warmed myself up with a hot bowl of chili. When I came outside.. what is that bright thing in the sky? My goodness, The Sun!! So I decided to head down Hwy 1 which follows the north coast throught the Acadian area. This side of the province is much different with pastures and sandy beaches. The homes are all of the same type and I took a couple of pictures. A lot of people have the Acadian flag out front some with very many of them. I made my way as far as Digby, where I will spend the night.
