The US and Canada

Our aim for Canada had been to travel from the very North West of the country (check!!!) to the very South East. Not just the mainland, but the Atlantic Provinces. The aim therefore was Newfoundland. Research had indicated that this would be a relatively easy process - just book the ferry from Nova Scotia to “the rock” a few weeks before your preferred sailing date. But……. what our early research didn’t consider was the biannual Canada Games, which in 2025 would be hosted by Newfoundland in early August. Every ferry crossing was booked out months in advance, so we put ourselves on the wait list. While we were in Ottawa we received advice that we had been successful for a crossing in 5 days. It’s a 2,000km trip, so we hit the road. Lots of highway and not much time to search for sites. But we did have a couple of nice campgrounds and the waterfalls at Grand Falls were great - with a salmon ladder that was in full operation.Läs mer
