Welcome
to Roadtripping Nova Scotia…. An innkeepers perspective on Nova Scotia’s back roads and hidden
treasures…
There is so much to see and do in Nova Scotia and
trying to decide just where to spend your precious, and often limited, vacation
days can be daunting. You can read all the guidebooks and scour official
tourism websites for days, but if you already like to stay at B&B’s (and Nova
Scotia has a lot of them), you’ve probably found that some of the best touring advice
has come from your hosts themselves.
Why
An Innkeeper’s Perspective?
Your innkeeper usually knows how to find that secret
beach and can tell you where the locals eat, because they are locals themselves!
They also have the inside track on what their previous guests have done and
enjoyed (or didn’t enjoy and wished they hadn’t wasted time on) so they can
help you sort through the overwhelming number of available options to find the
most rewarding choices for you.
Who
Are We and What Are We Blogging About?
Mom and I are innkeepers ourselves. We have run the
Evening Sail B&B in Pictou, Nova Scotia for just over nine years now, so we
have a pretty good list of favourite places to stop along the road to our
doorstep and even more hidden treasures to recommend in our immediate area. In the
next few months we’ll be writing about some of these old favourites. We’ll also
be visiting some of the places further afield that have been recommended by our
own guests and then passing on our adventures. More importantly, we’ll be
dropping in on our fellow innkeepers along the way and asking for their personal
favourites and suggestions.
What
Would You Ask Your Innkeeper?
We’ll be creating a sort of questionnaire for the
innkeepers we’ll be meeting, so please let us know what questions you’d most
like answered. Like who makes the best dessert in town? Or what is the most underrated
local attraction?Let us know what you’d really like to know before you even get here, and we’ll do our best to get you the most useful tips possible. If we’re really lucky, we might be able to get some of our own past guests to become guest bloggers themselves and share the best of their Nova Scotia travels with us here, as well.
Any volunteers?
