Chester, Part 2

On my Part One post of my Nova Scotia travels I had a lot of pictures from the surrounding areas of Chester, but this post is dedicated to pictures of Chester itself.  It definitely deserves its own post....

Chester is home to the oldest rural pub in Nova Scotia, the Fo'c'sle.  The food and the drinks were wonderful, I can definitely understand why this pub has lasted so long.
If you are ever in Nova Scotia may I recommend a Dark and Stormy.  This drink is Nova Scotia in a glass.  I was surprised at how much I liked it and impressed at how much I felt like a fisherman drinking it ;)

Okay, back to more beautiful pictures of Chester....

Chester, The Most Quintessential Town, Part 1

Ya'll, I cannot even begin to describe to you how wonderful this little town of Chester is.  Walking around this quaint village you are surrounded by sailboats floating in the harbor, houses of every color, blooming clusters of flowers, years of history, verandas with views, local cafes and water views that will knock you off your feet.  Basically, this little haven was as pleasant and pleasant could be.

I'm so jealous that my brother and sister-in-law get to live there 5 months out of the year, and I'm so upset that it took Wil and I 3 years to go visit!  We absolutely did not want to leave.

I know that I could not speak Chester and the surrounding towns justice, so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves....

These next 6 pictures are from Peggy's Cove.  We stopped by there on our way back from the airport.

Our housing for the week in Chester wasn't too shabby either...

Mahone Bay

 On the outskirts of Chester is another beautiful historic town, Lunenburg.  Lunenburg, established in 1753, is an official UNESCO World Heritage Site because it is one of the best surviving examples of a planned British colonial settlement.
