    @Sir_Osis_of_Liver Lunenburg was a disappointment — just a classic seacoast tourist strip (I understand why it's a UNESCO world heritage site, but that's lost under the seafood restaurants, gift shops, and bus tours). There was a nice café in an old house off the main strip though, and the towns and villages back along Route 3 towards Halifax are nice.Peggy's Cove and the SwissAir 111 memorial, OTOH — definitely worth a visit. Even the new viewing platforms haven't ruined its rugged beauty.In Halifax itself, the North End is interesting, especially the Hydrostone Neighbourhood and the Agricola corridor. And the nearby Fort Needham Park is a very touching and creative memorial of the 1917 Halifax explosion.In the South End, the Public Gardens were already beautiful in early May, though the Farmer's Market (moved to the Seaport District) was disappointing; Fredericton, though much smaller, has a far bigger and better weekend market. @mpjgregoire @NunavutBirder @Nerdfest#Halifax #NovaScotia #travel
