Today we started traveling up the coast. Green Cove gave us vistas of more rocky breakwater and large, mostly flat rocks to walk out on. Breathtaking views. We met a guy with 810 and he gave me some advice about my camera strap. He had a 70-200 f2.8 lens on just like mine, but had an extender to effectively double the zoom. At one of the mountain crests we met a family from Switzerland biking the trail-Mom, Dad and boy about 4.

At Neil's Cove we met a young man who leased a lighthouse from the Coast Guard and sold ice cream. Of course, we had some and he gave us some fascinating information about the area. One place in the cove boasted a beach that had fresh water from a river running into the ocean, something that happens a lot in Nova Scotia. There were many children swimming in this warmer water. The water was an amazing tropical blue color.

 

Next stop was White Cove. Beautiful bright-colored boats in a remote harbor. 

 

 

At the campground that night we parked next to two young men from New Zealand tenting. Bill shared rum and ice cubes with them. There was a huge field beside us with a fabulous view. We hung around there with a lot of the campers and were entertained by a young couple flying a drone. Of course, Bill wants one. I took a bunch of sunset photos on that beautiful evening. Took 194 shots today.
