Peggy’s Cove June 19 |

We left Beddeck and Cape Breton Island driving to our campground just north of Halifax. I decide to take the scenic route through Halifax going right through downtown and crossing over the MacDonald bridge. I wouldn’t recommend this route in an RV but I missed the right hand cut on the expressway and had no choice. I was watching the scenery instead of listening to the GPS.

After setting up camp, we drove to Peggy’s Cove to visit the most photographed lighthouse in Canada. We got some great pictures in spite of the overcast day. A short distance from the lighthouse we stooped at the memorial for the crash site of Swiss Air SR 111. The airplane crashed 5 miles off the coast. Standing there I could imagine the airplane falling from the sky. You can see 5 miles out before the curvature of the earth blocks your view. The memorial is carved from the granite in place at the site.
