After waking up the next day, we spent the better part of the morning tour the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. The indoor exhibits spread between three floors of the building and included an aquarium. There were also two vessels outside we could visit which came along with our admission tickets. Once we finished at the museum, we took a tour around the town and explored our options for lunch. Since I already had my fair share of lobster on…
Getting back to my East Coast trip. My favourite spot out of all the scenic locations we visited had to have been Mahone Bay. I would say it was definitely worth making the drive from out from Halifax to spend the day there. Early that morning up we picked up our rental car and drove straight to Mahone Bay.

We first joined a walking tour, which gave us a more detailed insight into why the fort was built and how it was used as a point of defence.

But because the weather turned out really nice, we were able to take our time exploring all the landmarks on foot. We first began the day at Founder’s Hall, which took us back in time to Canada in the late 1800’s. As you make your…
