: I should probably be posting this to the "Trips" board, but . . .

: My wife and I are thinking of a trip of a week or two in Nova Scotia this
: summer. Looking for suggestions from those of you who have been there as
: to where we should go. Camping vs motel vs B&B isn't a big deal, maybe
: some of each if we decide to move around a bit. I'd like to put in lots of
: kayaking (I prefer coastal islands, etc., over protected harbors and will
: be bringing my strip Night Heron, of course)and lots of cycling (road or
: mountain bike/single-track), and possibly some hiking as well. We're
: thinking of south and southeast portions of NS for hopefully warm weather,
: but other parts of the maritimes would be OK if highly recommended.

: Any suggestions? Pictures? Past trip reports?
: Thanks.

Hi Roger,Dunromin Campground on the Annapolis River is very nice, The Ovens campground in Lunenburg is beautiful, it is named for its caves in the cliffs best seen from a kayak, might also want to try Mahone Bay during thier Wooden Boat Festival in August, dozens of little offshore islands and a picture postcard town. All three have websites you should have no trouble finding, I live within an hour of all three and have been to them all, any other questions you might have I would be happy to answer and would'nt turn down the chance to see that Night Heron as it will be my next project.
Mark in Nova Scotia.
