Nova Scotia

The pictures below from our 2013 jaunt to the Maritime Provinces were posted in draft folder last year but never published at that time. Sorry about that. We all had a wonderful time in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. The high point probably was our time on Cape Breton Island that included a fantastic whale watching trip with hundreds of pilot whales very close to our boat. The Mazurs from E. Longmeadow and the Carons from Nottingham camped with us for several days in Dingwall, NS and enjoyed the whale watching with us.

The welcome center in Amherst, NS must be the best such facility we’ve encountered in our travels through more than 40 states and provinces. It was attractive, well laid out for cars, RVs and trailers, and staffed by cheerful and helpful people. Any time you visit NS, I recommend a stop here to chat with a representative of the province about your planned destination and activities.
