The weather turned cold & rainy so we changed our plans and are now heading down Hwy 12 to South Shore.
Looking on the map we decided to drive down Hwy 329 around a small peninsula.
BLANDFORD- Even in the mist the small coves were so pretty. We stopped at this lookout to
read the historical signs. It was a nice little spot, getting late and would ya know, it didn’t
say No parking. So yet another beautiful boondocking spot.
BAYSWATER-A Memorial for all the passengers who lost their lives in the crash of the Swissair
Flight 111, that terrorist blew up over St. Margarets Bay.
WALESBACK-Is on the other side of the bay. This is the second Memorial site for the Swissair Flight 111.
They were built to form a triangle. If you look out to sea straight along the sides of each Memorial it would
form the point of the triangle. This would be the spot the plane went down.
PEGGY’S COVE-Traveling east along the South Shore drive towards Halifax is this must see town.
We were used to seeing lots of vegetation so when we arrived here it was quite a surprise.
In my opinion it is just breathtaking. Loved the ruggedness of the rocks. It’s a very small
village. As you enter there is a good sized visitor center with a large parking lot. Here they give out walking maps through the village to
the lighthouse.
