I got sick , really sick, and had to come home. I'll never forgive myself for not being strong enough.

Date: Tuesday July 17th 2007 So today was a trip to Cape Breton and we left late so we wouldn’t be driving in the fog. The hills/mountains we drove on were so huge! I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. The sunset on the way home was also something to see. We went whale watching at 4:…

I had booked a surfing lesson with a local club, and headed off to meet Jules. She would give me my first ever surf instruction, for a hundred bucks with all equipment included for a 3 hour lesson. We grabbed the gear from the Surf school up the road from the beach. I had to change into my wetsuit …

A roadtrip that focused on Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, with stops in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick on the return trip. The final destination was Toronto, for a crazy meeting of Virtual Tourists!

Halifax, the capital region of Nova Scotia, is a lively and colourful combination of urban and rural living at its best. Governor Edward Cornwallis and 2500 settlers created Canada's first permanent British town here in 1749, on the scenic shores of the world's second largest natural harbour. The h…

We found mushaboom this day! You know the song feist sings, ya, we found the actual place. And is she ever correct about there being one dirt road. It's a very tiny place. After we got gas in Sheet Harbor, we headed home, thank god. And then my friend who broke her foot started complaining so we ha…

We travelled to North Sydney last night and stayed at another campground and had to get up at 5 am again, to be at the ferry by 7 for an 8 o'clock sailing, but because of technical difficulties, we did not set sail till noon. We drove a four hour ride to Gros Mornes National park, which is halfway …

This is an amazing little town this quite a little history.  It was originaly settled by the First Nations people (10,ooo) years ago.  About 1609 the French discovered the area while doing some mapping.  The First Nations and the French got along quite well.  When the British ca…
