Itinerary:
Day 1
We’ll depart Halifax and first head to Antigonish, we’ll spend about a hour and a half to eat lunch and explore, from there our only planned stop will be to catch the Skyline Trail for sunset. Depending on the weather in the car and out, we’ll make some plans for beaches and waterfalls. We’ll probably land at the Highland Hostel around 9pm, and from there you can pretty much do what you want, as long as it falls under their rules.
Day 2
The morning will be at your leisure and we’ll set out in the afternoon to go whale watching with Oshan. After that we’ll try to find some lobster and a place to cook it. From there we will see where the day takes us.
Day 3
We’ll try to leave the hostel by 10am and get to Baddeck for noon. We’ll give you two hours to have a long brunch or explore the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site. And from here we will take our long journey home, and it will be a long one. So download your favourite podcast, dust off your best travel stories, or just take in the diverse scenery that Nova Scotia will serve you. We’ll aim to get back to Halifax for 6pm.
