2012 Oct by Michael Novins
October 2012 -- I visited the Landscape of Grand Pré, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2012, and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, which has the world's foremost collection of wooden artifacts from RMS Titanic. I had lunch at The Five Fishermen Restaurant & Grill, which is housed in the former John Snow & Co. Funeral Home, where some of the wealthier victims of the Titanic were brought (http://fivefishermen.com/).

June 2007 -- I took the PEI ferry (http://www.peiferry.com/route-schedule/) from Wood Islands to Caribou, Nova Scotia, and visited Nova Scotia by car. I visited the town of Lunenberg (http://www.explorelunenburg.ca/), which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, where I went whale watching (http://www.novascotiawhalewatching.com/) and saw several minke whales and harbor seals. I also spent time in Halifax, where I visited Fairview Cemetery, the final resting place for 121 victims of the Titanic sinking, more than any other cemetery (http://www.halifax.ca/history/tfairview.html).

2009 our meaning was to visit Sable Island and St. Paul Island. We had Icelandair from Helsinki to Reykjavik and from there to Halifax. However at that time there was Hurricane Bill on the area and our Sable flight was cancelled. So we drove up to Bay St. Lawrence and tried to book boat to St. Paul, but influence of hurricane was also there and they refused to leave out to the sea. But because we had time we drove to Sydney and visited St. Pierre & Miquelon Islands, because it was new location for Oili. Now we are booked our flight to Nova Scotia again. We are leaving 10th of August to London and from there by Air Canada to Halifax. Our meaning is to try again these Sable Island and St. Paul Island trips. We hope that there is not any hurricane this time. 2005 we visited to Sydney in January. So we are seen Nova Scotia in winter time also.

I have been twice to Nova Scotia. The first one was when I travelled to Saint Pierre et Miquelon, and since that was in winter (December 2002), I could not get there by boat, so I flew from Halifax. Waiting for the flight I had three days time to visit that town, the capital of Nova Scotia, without missing the citadel, the waterfront, several churches, etc.

In July 2008 I traversed again that Canadian province. I took the ferry in Channel Port aux Basques, in Newfoundland, to North Sydney, in Nova Scotia, and then I continued my journey to Pictou, where I spent the night.
The next day I continued to Caribou, where the port was located, and then boarded the ferry to Wood Islands, thus entering Prince Edward Island.
