Hall's Harbour

Over a billion tonnes of seawater flow in and out of the Bay of Fundy every day, creating tides as high as 16.5 metres (54 feet). One of the most dramatic places to experience this natural phenomenon is in Hall’s Harbour, where you can literally watch the boats rise up off the ocean floor as the tide rolls in.

I think of Pinterest as a wonderful tool for vision or dream boarding. For many of us, our dreams often include travel and adventure. And for those who are part of our Nova Scotia online community, those dreams include a Nova Scotia. And so begins our adventure with Pinterest.

The big camping experience last winter was spending a night in a yurt at kejimkujik national park. The only problem was finding an open weekend to book one of the two Yurts at the park. With time running out, we booked a single overnight in late March at the Eel Weir Yurt.
