|
| DAY 5 – MAINE'S ROCKY COAST / L.L. BEAN STORE / ACADIA NATIONAL PARK / BAR HARBOR: Today we continue along Highway 1 enjoying the rugged coast. We will stop at L.L. BEAN, one of America’s largest mail order houses, featuring clothing, accessories and merchandise for the outdoorsman and campers. This afternoon finds us in Bar Harbor, the largest town on Mount Desert Island, one of the most beautiful Islands on the Atlantic Coast. Here is Acadia National Park, one of America's most beautiful. This is Maine of the storybooks. Waves come crashing against the granite coastline of Cadillac Mountain, the highest point (1530 ft.) on the Atlantic Coast. From the top you'll experience beauty like none other you’ve seen before. This evening you will be our guest at a Lobster Bake (included). We will spend the night in Bar Harbor. |

We will visit Annapolis Royal and Port Annie National Historic Park and then on to the Kentville area for overnight. |
|
| DAY 7 – PEGGY’S COVE AND SIGHTSEEING HALIFAX: We begin the day with a visit to Peggy’s Cove. This place of beauty is a must. It is probably one of the most photographed places on the Atlantic Coast. Next we head north, to the area of Dartmouth and Halifax. Halifax is the largest city in the Atlantic Provinces and offers a delightful combination of old and new. Located on Bedford Basin, a large landlocked natural harbor, Halifax is connected to Dartmouth by the MacDonald and McKay Bridges. Leaving Halifax, the Marine Eastern Shore Drive is as close you can get without getting wet. The tang of salt air and the cry of the solitary gull are the signatures of our drive leading to Sherbrooke Village, where you step back in time as you hear the splash of the water-powered sawmills, the squeak of the horse-drawn wagons passing by or smell the newly shaved wood in the chairmakers shop. This picturesque lumbering and shipbuilding town is restored to look as it did 100 years ago. We could remain here, forever, but we must continue on north to Port Hawkesbury, where accommodations await us for the night. |
|
| DAY 8 – CABOT TRAIL I CAPE BRETON NATIONAL PARK: Today we travel the Cabot Trail -- often described as “the most spectacular drive in North America”. Take a deep breath – the scenery is spectacular. See awesome views from wind-swept peaks, infinite steeps of sawtooth rock, lonely beaches, and heart-stopping drops down sheer cliffsides. We pass small fishing villages along the Gulf of the St. Lawrence to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. We climb sharply over 1,000 feet, taking in the magnificent views of the Gulf. The shore is rocky, identified with numerous coves at the mouths of picturesque valleys. We will retrace some of our route today as we make our way to New Glasgow for our overnight stop. |
|
| DAY 9 – PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND / ANNE OF GREEN GABLES / MAGNETIC HILL / REVERSING FALLS: Today, we board the ferry to Prince Edward Island. We tour the lush farmlands, pass tiny fishing hamlets, and cross the wooded slopes. You’ll view deep coves lashed by ocean waves, and marvel at the sandy beaches, stark red capes, and green hills. After our tour of Prince Edward Island and Charlottetown, we follow Highway 1 through potato fields and more farming areas to Borden, where we cross the new Confederation Bridge (13 miles across) to the mainland of New Brunswick. We travel south to Moncton. The mystery of "Magnetic Hill" awaits us at Moncton. Our motorcoach will seemingly roll uphill as we watch. While talking over the mystery of Magnetic Hill, we must travel on to our next overnight destination of Saint John, New Brunswick. We will stop by the famous overlook of Reversing Falls at the mouth of the St. John River. Here in the 450’ deep gorge the river flows uphill twice each day, caused by the 30 foot tides of the Bay of Fundy. Hopefully, the time will be right for the sun and moon to cause this phenomenon. |
|
| DAY 10 - WHITE MOUNTAINS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE : We depart Canada this morning, returning to the beauty of our homeland, as we travel through some of the most picturesque and colorful spots throughout New England’s countryside. The White Mountains of New Hampshire are yours to enjoy along with their most spectacular natural attractions. This afternoon we will view such sights as Mount Washington, the highest point in New Hampshire. You will marvel at Maple Grove Farms at St. Johnsbury, VT where we stop for maple syrup.

At Bennington, you visit the Bennington Museum, one of New England's finest regional museums, which includes more than thirty Grandma Moses paintings and a re-creation of a schoolhouse that the artist once attended. We will be skirting the Catskill Mountains of New York to our overnight destination in Pennsylvania. |

| DAY 12 – CHOCOLATE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD / HOMEWARD BOUND: All good things must come to an end. We are homeward bound today, filled with delightful thoughts and wonderful memories of our Nova Scotia-New England Fall Foliage Tour. Our morning break will be the sweetest one of all, we will tour the Hershey Chocolate World in Hershey, PA. Don’t forget that special friend or loved-one who will be waiting when you arrive home this evening. Once again we'll enjoy the beauty of the changing foliage of the Shenandoah Valley as we make our way back to the Beautiful Hills of East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
