We are planning our Nova Scotia Province wide road trip that we have planned for August.
We will be embarking on an epic road trip that will cover as many areas of Novas Scotia as possible. While we may not be Able to hit every great small town, tourist destination, or attractions, we will definitely be doing our very best to make this the most EPIC road trip.
Beginning at the Nova Scotia Tourism information booth in Amherst, Nova Scotia, we will gather up all of the brochures, and maps that we will need to help us along our travels. We will head straight to Parrsboro for some great Dinosaur adventures & exploration with a stop at the
Fundy Geological Museum, which we absolutely love.
From there, we will drive along the coast of the Bay of Fundy to Five Islands, and then a stop at
Masstown Market for some Fish & Chips at the lighthouse, and some amazing baked goods and gifts at the market.
With stops along the way to Truro, New Glasgow, (Pictou), Antigonish, Port Hawkesbury, we will make our way to the
Cabot Trail. Along the Cabot trail, we will make stops on Inverness & Cheticamp; where we will spend some time, and enjoy great seafood, and Whale watching.
The Cabot Trail is one of the most scenic drives in North America, and we will be enjoying every coastal vista, and beautiful spot for photos along the way. Having been on the Cabot Trail many times in my life, I will be bringing people who have never seen it. This will be quite a treat for them, as you can see many wildlife, including many moose, and much more.
After the Cabot Trail, we will head to Sydney area, to visit some family, enjoy some beer at the
Breton Brewing, and then a stop at
Fortress of Louisbourg. Fortress of Louisbourg is one of the many great attractions in Canada that will be free of charge as part of Parks Canada Canada150. #showusyourpass
From there, we head to Stewiacke for one of our favourite stops on a Nova Scotia Road trip-
Mastodon Ridge. As
RogueTrippers, we will be wearing our Matching "FLINTSTONES" t-shirts, to ensure the best photo opps for our visit to Flintstones house. A relatively new addition to Mastodon ridge is a great Craft Distiller,
ColdStream Clear craft distillers of vodka, rum, and spirits. If you have never tried Coldtream Clear, I highly recommend their products. Their Christmas seasonal flavours are the BEST I have ever had. Candy Cane, Peppermint patti, and more.
Peggy's Cove is a must stop destination for that iconic Postcard photo. The Sou'Wester restaurant is a nice place to enjoy a good seafood meal.
Mahone Bay and Lunenburg are the great coastal towns that absolutely are stunning. I have always had an affinity for Mahone Bay. The image of the 3 churches is another iconic Nova Scotia postcard photo. Don't forget to make a visit to Oak Island. It is Haunted, and has a history of pirates. FUN!
I have to make a stop at Grand Pre for the 'home' of
Evangeline.
And...that brings us to Digby, where we are heading to for
Digby Scallop Days.
We love a good festival, and great seafood, and what could be better than to enjoy Scallops in the home of the "Best Scallops on the World"?
Our plan is to stay at the
Digby Pines Hotel, one of the great accommodations in the province of Nova Scotia.
At the end of our trip, we will embark on the
NFL Ferries from Yarmouth to Portland, Maine.
This will bring our trip to a conclusion.
