CANADA - Wildcamping Adventure (halfway through)

We have arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and will be meeting our RV tomorrow afternoon at 2pm.

The fun part of this adventure is that it has taken us 3weeks to get to here, (a long story) using planes, trains, cars and busses touring around Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and a little of Nova Scotia.
Another fun part is that we do not know what type of RV we are getting. Our hire was the turn up and get whatever was available option - so fingers crossed.

Weather is getting colder, at night it has got to 4 degrees, daytime has been nice 18 to 25 degrees.

Had to swop shorts for jeans for first time yesterday, chilly wind caused by hurricane.

Just off to see what cruise ships are in the harbour, a lot diverted here from Florida yesterday.

We'll let you know how we get on later in the week once we get wifi again.

I'm more than a little jealous Stan. My daughter has been to Nova Scotia and loved it.
 
Will be watching in envy as we're looking to go next year to visit the kids. So have a safe journey and do keep us all updated when possible :wave:

Hi Trevskoda, would you like us to call in on them for you?
Hope you finished the build of the MH. We are scheduled to be in your area next May for a wedding - hope to call in for a cuppa.
Say hello to all the family.

The only glitch was when I used first Credit Card, it wasn't accepted, struggled with what to do, then tried again with another and all went well.
Biggest problem was the system does not tell you much about the failure cause so it becomes awkward.
Filling the form also a tad odd as it asks questions you cannot easily answer.

At airport no problems with passport linked to it.

We went through Montreal to get to Toronto and had no problems.

Hope all is good Rob, yes it is a nice country - but bloody big. Everyone has a pleasant attitude and welcoming approach. Met only 1 miserable bloke, a receptionist in a hotel, from his hair I guess he had a fallout with his boyfriend that morning. I only wanted to use the toilet.

The colours of the trees is quite stunning, and it is brilliant to see nigh-on every house design is different.

We have been staying with different people using AirBnB, also Motels, Gites and 1 Hotel (for Wed Anny) and experienced many types of character from a logger now farmer, to lady who manages world travel on tall ships for school kids.

Will try to write up a story over next few weeks

We have a few photos on iPad, but most on camera. As we move on from here we shall use iPad more.

I will attempt to construct a story over the next few days and describe our adventure for you.

Where do the kids live?
Our provisional plan is to go S of Halifax, then N to Cape Breton, W to Prince Edward Island, then over into New Brunswic, move N to above Quebec City and meander down SW to Toronto via Ottawa area.
