Hi Guys
Im going to try and keep you posted on our tour of Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland & Labrador.
Attached are some revised maps (MS Streets & Trips).
We've decided to head straight to Newfoundland as our main slide motor has broken and we can't extend it - we're booked at a dealer (Islander RV) for the repair.
We will take the 14hr ferry back to North Sydney and then tour Nova Scotia (attached map refs 13 to 14 dont show the ferry).
Then over to Prince Edward Island (PEI) on the Woods Ferry.
As and when we can get photos developed, we can add some pics (my digital is broken).

New Brunswick / Nova Scotia border to North Sydney
As soon as you enter Nova Scotia, you are greeted with a really nice Visitor Information centre.
There are loads of leaflets, free internet access, gift shop, restrooms and ice cream kiosk.
Several staff are on hand to answer questions - there is even a Bagpipe player outside in full clan attire !!
Around the car park are several excellent info boards detailing various routes around the Province.
There is a great photo opportunity at the centre - the Welcome to Nova Scotia sign with attached mini lighthouse, flower beds etc.
As we were late leaving Moncton (RV slide issue) we didnt have any time to stop en-route to North Sydney.
There are loads of info signs along the route - you could spend days just along this short 250 mile road.
We had planned to stay in Antigonish last night but were obviously playing catch-up. The town did look very nice as we passed along side it.
There was some great scenery along the way.
As you descend from Kellys Mountain there are 2 great pull-ins for photos. When it states 40kph at the bend at the foot of the mountain it really does mean 40kph as the bend is very tight.
We are staying at Arm of Gold CG which is just 3 miles from the ferry - I drove down there tonight and it was a straight road to the boat, no problems.
The CG is actually very pleasant ($31.50cdn for full hookup with 30A) with great views and free wifi.
Oh, we paid $1.17cdn a litre for diesel in North Sydney - thats 28p ($0.53) per mile compared to 18pence ($0.34) the last time we filled up in the US.
Well, I guess that's it for today.
