Lunenburg






















The beautiful town of Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This traditional fishing and shipbuilding town, established in 1753, was a planned Colonial settlement. The buildings have been beautifully preserved and were interesting to see. We tied to a floating dock that was attached to a very old wharf; many of the pilings were actually tree trunks with bark still attached. The tidal drop was more than 6 feet so at low tide, the floating dock was at least 12 feet below the wharf. To get to the top, we had to climb up the wall on a very old ladder. Going up was not so bad; coming back down was much more challenging!

We highly recommend the Italian restaurant in town, Trattoria della Nonna. Best Italian food we have had in a very long time. We noted there was no veal on the menu. In fact, we haven't seen veal since Quebec City and wondered why.

We were told that the Sci-Fi Channel was filming a Stephen King episode of "Haven" on the black boat at the wharf, picture attached.
