One of the most photographed spots in Lunemburg.   While we were visiting Halifax (see post here) in Nova Scotia, we took half a day to visit the village of Lunenburg, about 1h15min by car. Although the small town (just over 2,000 inhabitants) is super small, we thought it was worth visiting it, telling all the charm, the colorful and the visuals. There are not many things to do there, so sights and such, so the ideal is to enjoy the streets, the visuals and the local cuisine. It appears as a fishing village and is recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada and Unesco World Heritage Site, so…

Citadel Hill, New Our last stop in the Atlantic provinces of Canada, or rather The Maritimes, was Halifax and before leaving home I knew it would be the biggest city and with more things to see, but we were surprised by the inviting and pleasant atmosphere of the capital of province of Nova Scotia. Although Halifax is small, with less than 300,000 inhabitants in the city (297,000), we find it full of attractions and super friendly in many ways. We arrived later in the afternoon in the city, coming from Charlottetown (see post here) and this time we chose to pick up a hotel that stayed a walking distance from…

We had heard and read several super cool things about the province of Prince Edward Island and I confess that perhaps it would have been interesting to have explored more of the four corners of the island, but we actually had 2 and a half days and tried to do the best we could, considering our possibilities. Leaving Moncton, we drove for just over 30 min to get to know the Shediac area, as I wrote in Moncton‘s post. The tour was cool was on the way and soon we headed to the iconic bridge between New Brunswick and PEI, the Confederation Brigde, inaugurated in 1997, is 12.8km long and…

High tide at Hopewell Rocks I decided to make a special post for our visit to Hopewell Rocks because the place is really unique. Not only by the peculiar nature and the stones of unique shapes, but by the best known aspect of the place, the biggest tidal change in the world. And I confess that it is almost hard to believe that the level of water and well say, the whole landscape, change so much in a matter of a few hours. Across the Bay of Fundy or Bay of Fundy, approximately every 6 hours there are many meters of water that go and then come back, creating low…

The starting point of our trip was Moncton, in the province of New Brunswick, canada’s only bilingual province. The city of Moncton is very organized and small with only 69,000 inhabitants in the city and just over 138,000 in the metropolitan region. And perhaps because it is small, the city itself does not offer a huge diversity of activities and tourist places, but we managed to make the most of the two and a half days we were there. Our flight was direct Ottawa-Moncton, whose airport is in the nearby town of Dieppe. All quiet, the girls behaved and landed just before noon there. We decided to visit Magnetic Hill…
