Canada here. My grandfather was born in Chester Basin, Nova Scotia (3 miles outside of Chester on the south shore). He was from a large family, son of the village blacksmith. I spent 2 weeks visiting Nova Scotia and it is indeed beautiful in the summer. But beware the hard winters -- lots of snow, lots of storms, and power outages galore. My favorite part of the province is Cape Breton -- no photography does those highlands justice!

I am a Scot who emigrated to Canada 56 yrs ago . I live in Toronto Ontario. I have travelled all over this country east to west , north to south. We camped all over. My favourite parts of the country are Nova Scotia and PEI. Drove there one weekend just for the lobster.<br>So welcome a fellow Scot to this beautiful country, its' lovely people and cultures from all over this world.

Underestimating driving distances in Canada is quite common among those from across the pond so don’t feel bad.

My best road trip for 3 weeks was from Pennsylvania up to Maine to a car ferry to Nova Scotia, road around the island and up through Cape Breton, then another car ferry to Newfoundland, drive around, then a ferry to the French island St Pierre and Michelon, then back in the ferry to Nova Scotia and a drive over the bridge to Prince Edward island. We stayed at campgrounds, bed and breakfasts, and a hostel in St John's, Newfoundland. We had the best time!
