My experience
in Nova Scotia
We had high expectations when we visited Nova Scotia, and we definitely were not disappointed!
Not only did we go on some epic hikes, but we also enjoyed one of the most scenic drives along the Cabot Trail.
Add some fabulous camping, delicious seafood, gorgeous scenery, and some of the nicest people, and you have yourself the makings of a perfect vacation.
From the Lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove to the colourful houses in Lunenburg, the awesome waterfront in Halifax, and some interesting National Historic Sites, there was no shortage of ways to pass the time.
And we did mention the amazing Lobster and scallops, right??
