On the way to Newfoundland we travelled through part of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. For this trip we tried to maximize our time in Newfoundland because it's harder to get to, but we were able to take in some of the sites and enjoy some time in these two other maritime provinces.
Our first night in Canada (entering from Calais Maine) we stayed at Fundy National Park. The bay of Fundy is home to the largest tides in the world. Maybe more important than this is that on the way there we stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch we had the best fish & chips I've ever had, and this is saying a lot as I grew up on Cape Cod and lived in Rhode island for 6 years. If you ever head into New Brunswick from Maine be sure to stop at Ossie's Lunch in Bethal - you won't be disappointed.
We made super quick visits to several areas and hope to get back to spend more time at some point. We drove the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Island which is sometimes called the most scenic road in Canada, however when we were there it was super foggy as it often is. We also visited the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Lunenburg. We also spent some time in Pictu and Digby where we got some of thier famous scallops that we took on the ferry then had for dinner while camping on a beach near Saint John.
I've posted a few videos from this trip on our YouTube channel here... D&B Let's Go Someplace!
At some point we hope to be back to this area, lots to see and and experience up there!
