One of our favourite travel attractions are scenic drives, and if you ask motorists in Canada they tell you about the Cabot Trail, a 298 km (185 miles) long loop on the northern part of Cape Breton island in Nova Scotia.

Read about our visit to the largest Zoo in Atlantic Canada, the family friendly Oaklawn Farm ZOO. It’s a 50 acres zoo with endangered and threatened species of exotic, native and domestic breeds of animals

If you ever travel to Cape Breton the must see destinations are the Cabot Trail scenic drive, Baddeck and Sydney, Nova Scotia’s third largest city. We went there on a nice Saturday drive and spent a few hours on the waterfront, marina and nearby park. As you walk through the city it becomes apparent that [...]

We love cars and we love driving, so it was quite a pleasant surprise to see a few American Classic cars during our Sunday drive on the Cabot Trail, an excellent driving road on Cape Breton’s highlands. If you’re anything like us you must drive the full length of the Cabot Trail, which is a [...]

Our first winter in Halifax. It’s time to see how we’ll resist the Canadian winter. With a warmer than usual December (according to locals) we are now passing through the first true winter months, with abundant snow falls and stormy weather. And so our journey through the streets of Halifax started, in 10 inch deep snow, [...]
