Nova Scotia north shore view

This is a view from our campground. As I type this, the sun is setting over the island and is a huge fiery red ball. Fantastic!

So far things have looked similar to the other maritime provinces. We are taking a secondary highway (245) at the moment, which follows the northern coastline of Nova Scotia, towards Cape Breton island, and has given a few views of the water. We will follow this along to about Antigonish, then I think we’ll be on the highway as we head towards Cape Breton Island and on to North Sydney, where we catch the ferry to Newfoundland.

I find that as the trip is getting on, I have wanted to be off the main highway more and more, and will even ride extra distance to avoid it! The condition of some of the roads is a bit of a pain in the butt though – literally!
