This 10 day trip started in Halifax. First stop is Loisbourg, then Baddeck, the home of Alexander Graham Bell, Cape Breton Island, the
home of those magnicent Bald Eagles with 10ft wing-span.A trip continued along the famous Cabot Trail, Whale watching in Cheticamp
(we didn't see any whales) onto Prince Edward Island where we visited the home of Anne of Green Gables.
Next, onto New Brunswick to see the spectacular Flowerpot Rocks, Fundy Tides and the Chocolate River - (The highest tides on earth - up to 50 feet - twice a day)
The tour ended in the spectacular Peggy's Cove, and back to Halifax Harbor, where back in 1917 there was a huge explosion in the harbor when a munitions barge colided with a relief vessle and blew up, killing thousands and wounding and blinding more thousands. 12,000 houses were damaged and there was hardly a pane of glass left intact. The people of Boston sent relief and medical personel and their kind deed has been remembered every year since, as the folks in Halifax send a Christmas tree to Boston,
