But holy cow...Nova Scotia really got our attention. It pulled me in like no other landscape and environment I can remember. It was a truly fantastic experience to hug the coast of Nova Scotia for a week with our friends from The Wanderful Way:

Just outside of Halifax, we landed at an idyllic RV park sitting right on the water: King Neptune RV Park. For $40 CAD per night, we had full hookups and an almost panoramic view of the ocean about 30 feet from our front door.
We have never experienced anything quite like this place. Most of our time was spent at peaceful spots along the southern coast, such as Peggy's Cove (about 5 min up the road from us). But we also made a nice drive to the north coast and the Scots Bay area to take on the Cape Split Trail...known as one of the best hikes in the entire province.

We put in about 8 miles of hiking in order to enjoy the views you will see in this video at Cape Split. And it was absolutely worth the minor pain and exhaustion we experienced. Everyone toughed it out and got the full Nova Scotia experience.
While it didn't make the video, we also spent an afternoon and evening in Halifax enjoying the anuual Busker Festival. Street performers of all kinds, from all around the globe, converge on Halifax to give the crowds a show they will never forget. In our short time there, we got to enjoy some daredevil acrobatics, a comedic rock star and some serious fire stunts. It was fantastic and we finished it off with a round of pizza for both families.
We hope you enjoyed getting to take a peek at Nova Scotia through our eyes. I can't tell you how many times during our visit we said, We are going to come back here and stay for a while. The whole family really felt a deep connection to the place and people and we do plan to find our way back as soon as we can.

Graves Island Provincial Park - Hiking in Nova Scotia
Quick video on the new walking trail that was built in 2011 at Graves Island Provincial Park.
I've done some research on the island, and sharing the text I've used to create an earth cache.
A drumlin (Irish droimnín, a little hill ridge) is an elongated whale-shaped hill formed by glacial action. Drumlins were formed with their long axes parallel to the direction in which the ice was moving.
Nova Scotia's drumlin fields provide markedly dissimilar landscapes, depending primarily on their suitability for early farming and settlement. Only the drumlins found in Lunenburg and Kejimkujik were extensively exploited for their well-drained loam soils. Here farms still dot the landscape (even though there has been much land abandonment) and provide variety and interest. The other drumlin have poorer soils and historically have supported very little farming.[3]
Those in southwestern Nova Scotia indicate a nearly southerly ice movement becoming southeasterly in eastern Lunenburg and western Halifax counties. Drumlins around Halifax have about the same size and orientation as those in central Lunenburg County. However, from Sheet Harbour east to beyond the Guysborough County border, the drumlins again have a north-south orientation, as if they were formed by ice that moved directly down from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The few around Canso are oriented more to the southeast. [4]
In general, the ice appears to have moved directly across central and western mainland Nova Scotia from New Brunswick, whereas in eastern Nova Scotia the ice moved southward from Pictou and Antigonish counties and spread out to the east into Chedabucto Bay.[4]
Drumlins do not normally form from granitic material. Those drumlins frequently have a rock core. Occasional granitic drumlins are found in non-granite areas such as on Graves Island, but this is unusual. These drumlins contain large granite boulders, are often well- or excessively well-drained, and have soils with characteristics similar to Gibraltar soils.[4][7]
Graves Island was first settled by farmers and you can still see some signs of them today.[4] Overlooking scenic Mahone Bay, the island has a lot of history. Ownership of the land and residents of the island have been primarily associated with two families over the years: the Graves and the Zincks who first settled in Lunenburg County from Germany in 1753. [5] Even today, remnants remain from the families that once called Graves Island home, including stone foundations, old lanes, hand-dug wells, apple trees, tiger lilies, and rose bushes.
The 4 trails at Graves Island are well suited for family groups as they are all quite short. They take hikers around the island to see the many other drumlins and islands in the water. [6] For an easy hike, stay along the coastline which is flat.

SOLO CAMPING TRIP in the ONTARIO PARKS - VLOG 4
I took myself on solo camping trip to Pinery Provincial Park, one of the Ontario Parks. It was stunning and just what my soul needed. I made plenty of space in this vlog for breathing (and flying the drone), so relax, exhale and enjoy!

— HELLO LOVELY SOUL! —
I’m Anita, a filmmaker, writer, and visionary for a more beautiful world. I started traveling solo in 2011 and it forever opened my world. I found a connection with humanity and a way of living that was deeper and more alive than anything I’d ever experienced. I took every opportunity I could to travel the world, maxing out summers off from university and then started a business from my laptop.
I spent the last few years living, working and traveling in 36 countries across Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, USA and Central America. With just one suitcase and a wifi connection, I could work from anywhere in the world and it was a dream come true.
I’ve gotten stuck in sandstorms in the desert, live-broadcasted in refugee camps, crowdsourced my way 5000km across America from New York to LA totally supported by my online family, met God in a turquoise water paradise along the Adriatic sea and written books to tell the stories and savour the lessons.
These days, I’m based in Toronto, Canada, building a creative life while finding wonder, meaning and beauty here. It’s a different season from my full-time travel days, and I’m learning to make the most of it. It’s giving me a chance to bring forth the groundbreaking ideas that I've been formulating in my soul all these years.
I hope that you'll join me for the next leg of this adventure! Thank you so much for watching!

Around Cape Split Hike
Hiking along the beach from Amethyst Cove around the end of Cape Split to Little Split Rock Cove in June of 2012. (This was timed with the tides by those who knew what they were doing.)
Good Times in Scott's Bay NS - Highest Tides In The World
Nova Scotia is home to the highest tides in the world. Great times in Scott's bay, on the other side of blomidon. It is possible to access amazingly huge mud flats while the tide is low, but the tides come in really fast and we are chased back into shore by the rising water.
Water rises fast in Nova-Scotia, get chased back into shore at scott's bay, most extreme tidal water rise in the world!
