Taiamai No 5: In Nova Scotia, Canada.

Kia ora from Nova Scotia,

Goodness, you all sound as though you have been so busy! How was your assembly? When I get some time ( it's very busy being on holiday you know!),  I will check out some more of your posts. I hope you are enjoying reading Holes - I love that book!

Well, I have had some adventures I can tell you. We had a great drive from Quebec into New Brunswick,

but it was very long because Mr Henderson likes travelling on back roads for the amazing scenery and following the coast or rivers where we can.

They decided to free camp that night by the coast, some lovely locals told us where to go, but I was pretty scared because I did not know if there were bears or racoons or skunks out there! However we survived the night and travelled through NB to an amazing campground on a lake, but guess what?  There was a ski field right beside it so in winter you could ice skate or go ice fishing on the lake. Wouldn't that be cool?!

We continued on to Prince Edward Island and had another free camp, but this time in one of Canada’s amazing National Parks. The sand there is red and that is what the First Nation people (the red indians) used to paint their faces and bodies for war. I guess that’s why white people started calling them red indians, because they aren’t actually red, their skin is a light tan colour. To get to the island we had to go over a 12.9km bridge. YES, 12.9km. It was so amazing!

Oh, and at the campground, we went on a butterfly hunt but it was really hard to find the butterflies as they sit on the bark of the trees and they have evolved really good camouflage. We had to temporarily capture one and bring it home to the camper van to get a good picture. And then Mrs H said we had to let it go which was hard for me to do because, well, I am a predator!

Luckily, the forest was full of bears. They were so cute and friendly that I sat up in a tree and made friends with them.

For all the great readers in Team Moana, has anyone read Anne of Green Gables? Well, I'm sure Mrs B has because Mrs H has and she took us to the house and farm where the books were written. Would you believe it? There was a dog there dressed up as Anne, and then Mrs H dressed up too, that was a bit embarrassing!

Tonight we are camping again, in a park on the harbour

and tomorrow we are driving over a causeway to Cape Breton Island.Have a look at Google maps and see where we are now. Gee, we are so far east now in Eastern Canada that if we go too much further we will be in the Atlantic Ocean!

 We HAVE to do a 3km walk (one way) to the North Cape, wish me luck!
