$764.00 lighter in the pocket I got out of the Honda dealer at 3:15 and we were back on the road by 3:30 yesterday afternoon. We stopped for the night in Antigonish which was about one half the drive to Halifax. Nice town but nothing to stay for or do there. Halifax is a big city, about 400,000, and campgrounds don't usually exist in big cities. So we are in a campground about 30 minutes north of the city. It's hard to choose the perfect place to camp while traveling and is always a "why didn't we do better". We choose this campground because it got a good Trailer Life rating and was close to Halifax. But it's not on the water. We set up our site then drove to "Peggy's Cove" because it is a "must see" while in this area. It was beautiful! The most photographed light house in maybe the world. Perfect views just before we got there, but within just seconds, the fog rolled in and we could see nothing.
Before we got there we found a campground right on the ocean that had room for us, and no further from Halifax than where we are currently booked for three nights. Kicking ourselves for not looking further into other camping options, but this campground got low scores from Trailer Life campground guide and we did not even consider it. Bad move! Lot's to do in Halifax and not sure what we will do tomorrow and Saturday. We'll let you know what happens. Tonight is the first time I got a full DirecTv signal in over three weeks. I'm a happy camper!
