Just a quick update from our trip today. We are leaving the Halifax area and travelling north along the east coast of Nova Scotia. It has stopped raining, but it is still very foggy in places. I actually like car journeys like this because I find the constant change of surroundings and impressions meditative. If I had three weeks' holiday, I'd rather go there for a fortnight and only stay at the destination for a week, but as I said, that's my thing.
Today, we almost always travelled along the coast, the route was often winding, rather narrow and bumpy. On the other hand, the eye was presented with a wealth of impressions. Old and new houses, winding bays, sandy beaches with driftwood, tourist shops and small restaurants inviting you to have a coffee. After about 6 hours of travelling, several breaks and a short ferry ride, during which we had the pleasure of meeting the ferryman Ralph Kaiser, we reached our destination in Guysborough.
A pretty little house from 1865 that has a charm all of its own.
My son immediately unpacked his fishing rod and actually brought back a fish, which then found its way onto our dining table.
Tomorrow we will continue north to Cape Breton, to the Bras d'Or Lacke.

Vater & Sohn in Kanada – Der Weg ist das Ziel - Guysborough
Heute nur ein kleines Update von unserer Reise. Wir verlassen die Gegend um Halifax und fahren an der Ostküste von Nova Scotia Richtung Norden. Es hat aufgehört zu regnen, aber teilweise ist es immer noch sehr neblig. Eigentlich mag ich solche Autoreisen, weil ich den ständigen Wechsel der Umgebung und der Eindrücke als etwas Meditatives empfinde. Wenn ich drei Wochen Urlaub hätte, würde ich lieber zwei Wochen dorthin fahren und nur eine Woche am Zielort bleiben, aber wie gesagt, das ist mein Ding.
Heute ging es fast immer an der Küste entlang, die Strecke war oft kurvig, eher eng und holprig. Dafür bot sich dem Auge eine Fülle von Eindrücken. Alte und neue Häuser, verwinkelte Buchten, Sandstrände mit Treibholz, Touristenläden und kleine Restaurants, die zum Kaffeetrinken einluden. Nach ca. 6 Stunden Fahrt, mehreren Pausen und einer kleinen Fährfahrt, bei der wir den Fährmann Ralph Kaiser kennenlernen durften, erreichten wir unser Ziel in Guysborough. Ein hübsches Häuschen aus dem Jahre 1865, das seinen ganz eigenen Charme hat.
Mein Sohn packte gleich seine Angel aus und brachte tatsächlich einen Fisch mit, der dann auch den Weg auf unseren Esstisch fand.
Morgen geht es weiter in den Norden nach Cape Breton, zum Bras d’Or Lacke.
