I spent a 2 week road trip touring around Nova Scotia back in 2010, it was great. I didn't have a 'base' but spent every night in a new place. It was a lot of driving (which I didn't mind) and I got to see a lot of country side. However, it still wasn't enough time. For me, the highlight of the trip was Cape Breton.(Sky Line trail was beautiful, saw whales, moose, black bear and crazy scenery) I could go back and spend the whole two weeks up there and be perfectly happy. Lunenburg was also really nice. I brought some fishing tackle along and was hoping to fish more, but only got out once. It was on the Margaree for salmon, what a beautiful river and an experience etched into my memory forever.
