Day 21 - Travel Day to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

It’s July 13th – day 21 of our trip already.  Time is flying by.

A beautiful morning for the Saturday “Farmers Market” in Annapolis Royal.  We took Madi with us and ran into most of our guests there.  Dianne and Jan found the produce.   

Mercedes and Jodie found one of the many bakeries, as well as some novelty jewelry.  

There were plenty of crafts and even the Ironworks Distillery was represented (which makes Vodka & Rum) from Lunenburg. It was a nice way to start our day before leaving for Lunenburg.

The tide was in and the Tidal Power Plant was working as we left town.  It is one of few power plants in the world and the only one in North America.  The Annapolis Tidal Power Plant has a capacity of 20 megawatts and a daily output of roughly 80-100 megawatt hours, depending on the tides.  It has an Interpretive Center that is open to the public so that visitors can learn about the generating station, its history and the power of the Bay of Fundy.

Our drive was picturesque with plenty of gardens blooming, pine trees a plenty and a few lakes with lily ponds. 

After arriving in Lunenburg, Terry and Madi went to get a pre-ordered cake for Sandy Oeser’s birthday.  We took the opportunity to view Lunenburg from the other side of the water – the best view of this brightly colored seaport.

Barry cooked off another 24 lobsters for the group.  Some folks brought their own non-lobster dinners and we all ate together outside our motorhome.  

The NASCAR race was on the outside TV and positioning at the dinner table was key for the race.

Gunter had beautiful flowers for Sandy and provided the cake and ice cream for dessert in honor of her birthday.  There wasn’t a morsel left.

It was a perfect night for a campfire.  A good sized group started out and dwindled down to a small group bidding good night with the swirling sunset. 

It’s hard to beat days like this.
