You will experience the unspoiled province of Nova Scotia and savour the charm of coastal villages in our summer 2012 exploration of Nova Scotia, Canada. Your travels will take you to colorful seaside villages, friendly people ,  Celtic music, rural landscapes, whale watching adventures,  bustling historic Halifax, and the UNESCO world heritage  seaside town of Lunenburg. Your Maritime journey will leave you with the flavour and richness that is distinct to this diverse land. Our travel will be slow as we take in the wonders of the seafaring heritage, adventure and cultures that are alive here. The magic of the Bay of Fundy and her 40 foot tides, the bucolic Annapolis Valley where artisans and farmers produce most of the food we will eat, and the Atlantic Coast where the Lighthouse route leads you to sandy coves, beaches and rocky headlands that you will remember forever. If you like to wander off the tourist path, join women travelers in Nova Scotia next summer and replenish your spirit with cool seabreezes.
