This website records our one week trip in 2024 to Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is a much larger place than I realized, there is much more than can be seen in just one week. During our one week visit, we saw Cape Breton Highlands National Park
and various interesting sites around the famous Bay of Fundy. Nova Scotia is big, our trip had at least 20 hrs and 1700 Km of driving This map pinpoints all the trails we did in black, and all the places we stayed in red. The red number inside the circle specifies how many nights we spent at each place. There is a zero for the
Halifax Airport because we did not spend an overnight there. Here is our itinerary. A couple of days had a lot of driving, but Nova Scotia is a big place. We never got southwest of Halifax, or entered that city at all.
