We had rented a car with Thrifty today and that gave us freedom to do exactly what we wanted! Though service at the Westin hotel in renting the car was slow, so I wasn’t able to pick up Mom, LC and B until about 10:45.
I followed some good advice from Cruise Critic. Tomsportguides.com gives incredibly detailed driving tours that I used to preprogram GPS coordinates for sites we wanted to visit. So we headed out to Peggy’s Cove to see the most iconic lighthouse in the country! What fierce winds!! LC jumped out and took photos for all of us!!
Stunning views!!
There were bus loads of people around, so we decided to stop at the visitors centre and find a restaurant for lunch. A friend of mine had recommended restaurant Rhubarb- at nearby Indian Narrows. I had the most delicious lobster roll there - followed by sticky toffee cake that was amazing!!
We did visit the Swiss Air Memorial too.
We returned to the ship and fought the fierce wind that brought on snow too! (A first, for many ship crew members!)
During supper we realized the ship was listing quite a bit to the starboard side. The captain announced that hurricane winds measure 12 and we were experiencing winds one notch below that at 11. Hence, the listing of the ship. Mom and I thought this was a good night to retire to our room early rather than going to watch the main stage show at the very front of the ship.
So Mom and I watched the movie Wonder. We will see if the winds die in the night and if we are able to ride the tender into Bar Harbor Maine, in the morning!
