Creator's Key Takeaways

We survived the storm and made it to Halifax!

Heart-shaped pancakes with mimosas. How special is that? Wow. Feeling very spoiled right now.

If you get the opportunity, you must come here. I would love to come and stay.

So just over $100 Canadian for a what three or 4 hour trip to Lunenburg and back.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Rent a car to explore Nova Scotia's coast at your own pace.
Visit Lunenburg in the off-season to avoid crowds.
Bring warm clothing for chilly fall weather.
Check if museums and attractions are open, as some may be closed seasonally.
