High Tide B&B near Five Islands
(The B&B is closed down) Friends from the very beginning this is how I would call Janet and Angus Quinn, hosts of the High Tide B&B at Lower Economy.

Halifax Beer
While thinking over what another nice story would be to write about, and while I was listening to Celtic music, suddenly – I heard that Stan Rogers song “Barrett’s Privateers”. Oh, the year was 1778, how I wish I was in Sherbrooke now! A letter of marque came from the king, To the scummiest vessel I’d ever seen, God damn them … Continue reading →

Hikes around the Cabot Trail
Here is our last blog while we are still in Nova Scotia. Four weeks, we thought, would have given us the chance to see all the things that Nova Scotia has to offer.

Time seems to rush by and we had to leave Keji after some more hikes and landed up at Cape Split where we met some ‘old’ hiking friends to hike to the tip of the cape. Unfortunately I lost my “be prepared” camera at this trail a Canon IXSUS 70, so go for a hike and if you find my … Continue reading →

The bad weather confined us within the next few days, while we passed the old Woolen Mill in Barrington, it was still dry but suddenly heavy rain poured down and made our bird watching tour at Cape Sable Island impossible, heavy fog covered the lighthouse at Cape Forchu but just a few hours later Gilbert’s Cove Lighthouse showed up in … Continue reading →
