Nova Scotia
We started our holiday in Halifax, hired a car and drove to Sydney where we saw five of the Tall Ships in the harbour, having just missed the visit
of 80 in Halifax. A drive around Cape Breton was full of surprises and at one of our stops we took the last boat of the day to go whale watching. Our
guide and Captain made the trip really interesting and we spent a long time watching a large number of whales playing together. Three days later we
took the ferry to Port aux Basques in Newfoundland
