This year’s vacation was a long driving trip to Atlantic Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We began with a drive to Concord New Hampshire via Vermont mountains for an overnight stop. No photos, Concord is scenic, New England is excellent for towns of character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next day, driving to Saint John, NB. No photos and unfortunately no time to tour the Atlantic coast of Maine. The Maine Turnpike was quite busy, we found a splendid restaurant north of Bangor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For no truly good reason, we choose to travel to Halifax using the Saint John to Digby ferry. We settle in with good friends Mike and Audrey for a couple of days. Once again, we are so grateful for their hospitality and we hope to see them again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next we head to Cape Breton Island which has been an objective of ours for a very long time. You will regularly find the Cabot Trail on most scenic drive lists and we enthusiastically agree, don’t miss the chance to tour Lake Bras d’Or as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We make fairly short work of the drive to Fredericton, highways in Atlantic Canada are excellent and the speed limit is 110km\/hour. We slow down a bit in Fredericton to tour the city and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We continue to Montreal, the once unpleasant segment from Edmunston to Riviere du Loup is now mostly access controlled freeway, true, there is a about a 10 minute segment on the old route 185 but the whole thing took about 45 minutes which is incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Montreal we check in with Rehana and Naeem and kids, Ayaan, Inaya and Layla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally we stop in Toronto on the way home for dinner and shopping with Sam. A successful trip indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
