Cultural Dessert

Canada and USA

 9 June 2023

We had an amazing holiday in Canada and the USA over the past two weeks. We flew to Montreal and then drove across Quebec to Saint John in New Brunswick then on to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. We then flew from Halifax to Boston, Massachusetts for a couple of days before joining a cruise on the Holland America ship Zaandam. The cruise took us to Bar Harbor in Maine, back to Halifax and Cape Breton, and then visited Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, Quebec City and Montreal. It felt like several holidays sandwiched together! We were very lucky with the weather, getting mostly cool, sunny days with very little rain, and not seeing any evidence of the wildfires that are now causing so many problems. I think the highlight was our stay at a remote self-catering cottage overlooking the beautiful Bras D’Or Lake in Cape Breton, from where we explored the stunning Cabot Trail through Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
