 Left or Right to Halifax?
Flip a coin. :) by pchamlis
We stopped in at this cute little general store near Pugwash, and (exasperatedly) asked for directions. The guy helped me out, and he remarked that we were the third group of American visitors who'd stopped in for directions that very morning. We thanked him and left with a jar of local black currant jam that we purchased.
Take a look at the photo in this tip. Doesn't it look like it doesn't really matter WHICH way you go? It was Halifax to the left and Halifax to the right. In that case, it was correct, highway 333 was a loop road. Other times, signage wasn't quite so helpful. :) Leave a Comment

Make sure that your car/truck has a large engine and really good brakes - the Cabot trail is really punishing for a fuel efficient automatic. My car has never been the same since we did the Canot trail in it.
If you still want to see parts of Cape Breton and avoid the trail, take the highway through the middle of the province - it's much faster and easier

 Road sign in Nova Scotia by Florida999
There were even "flying stones" :-) Lol ! Better stones I suppose than low flying UFOs....
We thought that sign was funny, so I took a photo. We didn't actually see any "flying stones"....

Ah Cape Breton a place of stunning beauty with its mountains seascapes and fabulous beaches. When I first wrote the tip and put it under 'warnings of danger' I made a mistake, but did I really? Cape Breton and the Cabot Trail still today creeps back into my memory and was a place I really did not want to leave. Any re visit to Nova Scotia I may plan in the future will see me spending a lot more time in this most scenic part of Canada. Leave a Comment

 The Hector 1773 carried Scots
to Canada by scottishvisitor
Sitting outside on a summer evening OUCH!
My husband's legs looked like chicken pox next morning! Don't wear perfume, don't sit near water and do use insect repellant I found a good one made from natural plant based ingredients. Leave a Comment

 Smooth hard rocks by scottishvisitor
Wear sensible shoes, we saw lots of people wearing flip flops and even high heels.
Watch out for your children, I know they have a natural tendency to run about, but slipping on these huge rocks doesn't bear thinking about. Leave a Comment

In Nova Scotia it is mandatory to wear your seat belt in a vehicle. There is a fine if you get caught without it buckled.
Baby seats and booster seats for children under 60 pounds.
Speed and distances are posted and measured in Kilometers. Maximum speed on 100 series highways is 110 KPH, some may only be 100 KPH. Smaller secondary highways will be 80-90 KPH.
The highways and rural roadways are patrolled by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
In many places you may turn right after a full stop at a red light. It will be posted if you are not allowed to do this. Leave a Comment

 watch your footing by arasnosliw
The rugged coastline at Peggy's Cove was like a playground for me. Lots of huge granite boulders to frolick about on. Only problem was that I was being careless and had some shoes on with minimum traction. Needless to say, I took a bad spill and scraped myself up. Be careful when climbing around these boulders, even if you are a monkey girl like me. Leave a Comment
