We are planning a short trip to Novia Scotia (first time visit). We will be going in mid October. I made a quick itinerary as follows:
Day 1- Travel day, staying in Halifax
Day 2- Visit Lunenberg & Peggy's Cove, staying in Halifax
Day 3- Sightsee Halifax 1/2 day, Drive to Baddeck to stay the night
Day 4- Early start to drive Cabot Trail to Skyline Trail to hike. Want to see Meat Cove and the sights along the way. Stay the night in Chencamp.
Day 5- See any sights in this area or possibly Skyline Trail hike if we didn't have time the day before. Drive to Halifax later in the day to stay the night in Halifax
Day 6- Fly home
We only have the 6 days/5 nights for the trip, could possible do 6 nights/7days. It is myself, my husband (we are early active 60's) and our adult daughter. We did a road trip in Ireland last year and loved driving the countryside- our favorite memory I think is just having dinner in a local pub with music, chatting with a couple of the locals. Would love a similar experience in Novia Scotia.
We will be going in mid October, possibly could do last week in September. Would this be a good time? Is my intinerary doable? It may seem quick- we don't mind a fast pace.
Thanks for your help!
