Day 4: Lunenburg to Halifax (aka, WTB faster cars)

Yesterday was a busy day. We started by sailing with the Bluenose II for a couple of hours in Lunenburg. The weather was fantastic! After lunch, we packed up and rode to Ovens Natural Park to walk along the Sea Cave Trail. Next we rode to Peggy's Cove. When we arrived, the temperature felt like it has dropped 10 degrees and a thick misty fog blanketed the area. After a short walk and taking a few pictures, we headed off to Halifax for the evening.

Surprisingly, it took us quite some time moving from one destination to another. The culprits: slow drivers and low speed zones (or worse! a combination of slow drivers and low speed zones!). Nothing like being stuck behind a convoy of cars doing 60km/h in an 80km/h zone. Woowoo. Having said that, the roads were good and twisty (with some freshly paved stretches too!). There were quite a number of beaches along the way, most of them with actual people on them. Brrr.

We'll add some pics as a follow up.
