Nova Scotia - How Much Time Do I Need

As I said in my last post I strongly suggested people visiting Acadia National Park not try to include a brief trip, via the Cat Ferry, to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

And, as I said in my last post, I am not suggesting people not visit Nova Scotia. On the contrary, by all means I strongly recommend a visit (or more) but I also strongly suggest it not be a “day trip” as part of a visit to Acadia! Nova Scotia deserves a full fledged visit of its own. In fact, like Acadia and Downeast Maine, Nova Scotia can easily command 2 or more lengthy visits. I will explain why I feel this way over my next several posts.

Parker’s Cove Nova Scotia - Annapolis Valley Area

Shown above is one of many small fishing (lobsters) villages that dot the southern coast of Nova Scotia. This small harbor was created by man-made rock and cement jetties that jut out into the Bay of Fundy. Thirty foot tides and strong winds create an interesting and sometimes very hostile environment, even though it is on the Bay side of the island.

Stay tuned for more photos and first hand experience with Nova Scotia …..
