Nova Scotia

We are leaving New Brunswick and traveling further east to Nova Scotia.
After the first few days in the camper, we realize how big the country is. We throw our original plans overboard and don't take on too much. Ultimately, we want to enjoy time with the children and not chase after attractions in the car.

In Nova Scotia, our first stop is Truro. This city is more industrial, which is not immediately apparent at first glance. From a tourist perspective, the highest tides on Earth can be found at the Salmon River. We found a park where various circular hiking trails lead to the waterfall. Some visitors have also plunged into the cold water. We were able to reach everywhere on wooden planks and stairs to get the best view of the river. The children's spirit of discovery was awakened, and as leaders, they ran ahead. In the end, we spent a lot of time at the playground.
Playground is a big topic here in Canada. There are large playgrounds in almost every small town that leave nothing to be desired.

We continued on to New Glasgow and then to St. Peters. There, we discovered a beautiful bay where we set up camp. Cooking in the camper is easy for me, but eating is usually simple. While I cook, I can watch the children playing on the beach. Lastly, the area is explored and we further educate ourselves about the history of the place.

In the next few days, we will be heading to Newfoundland. We have already booked the ferry from North Sydney to Channel-Port-aux-Basques online.
Before we head towards North Sydney, we make a detour to
Forteresse de Louisbourg. This is a historic fortress. In the town of Louisbourg itself, you get the feeling that time has stood still. All the houses are still from that time and have been extensively restored.
When we arrived at the fortress, we were greatly disappointed because it was closed on weekends. Although we don't understand why it's closed when everyone has time off, we still took a walk around the fortress as best as we could and as the coastline allowed. We searched for our way alongside the moat and balanced on walls. Suddenly, we were actually inside the fortress. With a certain spirit of adventure, we looked at the houses inside. But when we saw the park administration, we quickly turned around.
Blown by the wind and slightly chilled, we head back to Sydney, where the ferry to Newfoundland departs tomorrow morning.
