I drive through Avebury twice a day on the way to work and back, summer time is the worst, coach loads of tourists,all looking to cross the road, all looking on the wrong side of the road. Lunenburg is a Canadian world heritage site so it had to be worth a visit, right?
All the houses within the actual heritage site are painted different colours, some even painted purple giving the town a sort of stage set appearance, things get a bit more real looking down by the harbour with the ships and fishing factories side by side with historic buildings.
Theres a distillery
We tried some of the liquers, Rhubarb one was nice-ish but things went downhill from there and the cranberry and blueberry ones werent so nice and we decided against buying any, the stuff pouring into the steel bucket is the actual distillate, the bloke opened the little hatch to reveal a log fire running the still.
walking along the seafront and harbour in the bright sunlight, there was more typical Nova Scotia scenery.........
There was a lot of things named "Bluenose" this and that , we had no idea what the Bluenose was all about, until we found a ship, with hoardes of people crowded round it......
Al solved the mystery, The Bluenose is the ship on the Canadian 10c coin!
Pretty innit?
Later on we ate our Subway rolls in Halifax public gardens
Kind of reminds me of Halstead town gardens, on a larger scale !
