    If your in Nova Scotia, you really should take the ferry over to Newfoundland and explore the northern peninsula to see Gros Morne and Western Brook cruise is a must do!!

    @GTLees Před 6 lety

    Thank you for the kind words about my province. Your commentary and footage is so well done it's of professional quality. You did drive past my exit in Pictou County so hopefully you'll return and see more of what we have to offer. The first two words that come to mind for our little piece of the world are beaches and pizza. Both are world class, but we do have more so you'll just have to return. Thank you again for putting us in a good light for the world to see. Happy trails and be safe! ...........................................PEACE!!

    We spend the bulk of August every year in Nova Scotia in the Lunenburg area since our best friends moved to town about 10 years ago. Amazing place, and yes the Grand Banker rocks!

    I was born and raised in Cheticamp Cape Breton Nova Scotia. Part of the Cabot trail. Very scenic drive along the coast

    Thanks for doing such a good job representing Nova Scotia. I have lived here almost 30 years and take it way too much for granted.

    What a beautiful country - pristine waterfront, colorful houses, green meadow . Feel proud of my Canada

  • @hinterlandexplorer
    @hinterlandexplorer Před 6 lety

    We loved your adventures since a long time. But your Nova Scotia video is like coming home as we spent our holidays there for many years. We sat at the same places in Lunenburg an walked over the rocks in Peggy's Cove.
    Thank you for this from Switzerland. Alice and Jens

    So excited to see this episode - I live in Halifax and think it's an amazingly beautiful part of the world. So glad you enjoyed it! Wish I could have run into you for a chat on the waterfront- or enticed you to go for a motorcycle ride out along the ocean!!

    Beautiful n spectacular scenery. Joe you have the most perfect voice to do travel shows on the travel station. Love watching u guys every week have been watching since you started in the van. Keep up the great job. 😊

  • @williamthawley9251
    @williamthawley9251 Před 6 lety +3

    Nova Scotia is truly amazing, I camped out here in a van that I did myself, about 30 years ago, I am surprised no visit to Fort Louisbourg and Oak Island. You are right Peggys Cove is really nice.

  • @theworldaccordingtochris4370

    My God, you are so lucky. We spent nearly two weeks in Nova Scotia last year and it wasn't enough time. It's a beautiful place with FANTASTIC people and all the food we had was brilliant! We live in Ireland which is gorgeous but Nova Scotia is perfect, it somewhere you can live well and love every day.

    @ka1133 Před 6 lety +6

    I'm not sure where to begin ... although I live in Niagara Falls now, I'm from Nova Scotia originally and it's been a few years since I've been back home. I still have family scattered all across the province. I am so homesick right now I feel like jumping in my RV and heading down right now ... although I'm planning to wait till the fall and cooler weather and less crowds.
    You certainly touched on some of the areas that I have visited over the years. But when I go I'll be spending a month or more. Every visit in the past has been to visit and see family. This time I want to play tourist and spend time at the various location to have the full experience. Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg are certainly two of my favourites. Did you stop at the Swiss Air memorial while there? There are also several Boondockers Welcome hosts in the NS area so for me it will be boondocking all the way ... which I do anyway when travelling. Glad you got to enjoy some of the culinary delights that we Bluenosers have enjoyed for years. Great summary of your visit.

  • @ncylee4

    Growing up, I spent my summers on Cape Breton Island. I loved seeing the area thru a tourist lense. Glad you enjoyed!

    @timohearn5689 Před 6 lety +2

    Fantastic video, I'm from Halifax and frequently visit Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg so glad you had a great time. No surf at Peggy's Cove is unusual.

    @taylorburke816 Před 5 lety

    I grew up in Cape Breton. I've been there for 21 years and just a month ago I've decided to move to the mountains of Lake Louise, Alberta to pursue my love for snowboarding. Van Life has always been a thing I've been highly inspired by. To see you floating around my home town really touches me at heart. Especially because van life isn't really recognized back home in Cape Breton

    What an incredible location..guys there's a great little Scottish company that make a bug repellent called 'Smidge' that apparently is as good as deet based repellents without the nastyness of deet.. developed because western Scotland suffers horrendously from midges in the summer but also works with mosquito

  • @kevinlougheed553
    @kevinlougheed553 Před 6 lety

    I am so glad that you are getting such a great view of a few parts of our country....it really is an incredible land and so very different in each area. I still hope that at some stage, in the winter, that you fly up to one of our incredible areas and enjoy a few days of real winter as well....you will fall in love with us again. I love your videos and have watched them all although I have fallen a little behind the past few weeks with the full summer being upon us. We have a shorter summer so some tv/video watching gets deferred a little. You two are amazing...thanks for your entertaining videos.

  • @pathfinder9759

    @Margaret-1661 Před 6 lety +1

    Great video! NS has always been on my list. When you go to Quebec be sure to spend time in the lower city for dining. The best way to get there is to take the funicular tram (located by The Frontenac Hotel) which will bring you down the cliff with stunning views. With the cobblestone streets in the lower city you will feel as though you stepped into old Europe. Have fun! 🤗

  • @luvcats778

    @sean808080 Před 4 lety

    Ok my husband and I watched this video as we were curious about summer options now that our usual summer trips to Maine and Provincetown are not in the cards for us this year. This video sure made NS look like a lovely destination. Thanks as always for your videos!

  • @elizabethcanada1866
    @elizabethcanada1866 Před 6 lety

    I was in Nova Scotia in June in Margaree Habour on Cape Breton Island. I was not in my camper van this time, but my next visit to NS will be in the camper van and I intend to do everything you did. Your videos are so inspiring.

    Glad you took me up on my suggestion of Peggy's Cove I gave you when you were asking for places to see in the Maritime Provinces in one of your live videos despite wisely giving Kait's parents credit for the idea. Appreciate the Demitasse coffee suggestion. I'm ordering their sampler to see how I like it. Already tried an Ethiopian coffee even if it was Stop & Shops Nature's Bounty brand. It was a fair introduction to Ethiopian coffee.

    Everyone should watch this video. I wish that every zip code looked like this. The time lapse video was beautiful. What did you think of the composting toilet? Please do a video about that. Many people think it is better than the conventional systems that often break and flow into the ocean, without being treated. Most of the pipes in America are at least one hundred years old. Can your van run on ethanol? Please do a video about that. Please Skype with David Blume about running your van on ethanol. You can see him interviewed on the You Tube documentary, 'Pump.' He graduated from San Francisco State with a science degree, about 1970. His official web site sells ethanol equipment. The film 'Pump' interviews a couple who own and operate an ethanol only gas station. Maybe you two could do that some day. Ethanol can be made out of most yard and farm waste.

    Shoulda also mentioned my niece is heading up the restoration at that church in lunenburg. Let me know where you're heading next, and I can make some other suggestions. If you go to Yarmouth, you can take the ferry to NFLD. Else head to PEI, take the ferry to L'isle de la Madeleine or hit the Gaspe in Quebec.

    Beautiful locations and food. As I watched you drive through that small street near the end I couldn't help but wonder what you experience is with the 3500 vs the 2500. Have you found it a problem to drive in populated areas or find parking? If you were choosing again now would you go with the 1.0 or 2.0 again?
