Viele Touristen konzentrieren sich auf Halifax, Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove oder die Cape Breton Highlands, was den Nachteil hat, dass diese Ziele oft überlaufen...

"Birdsong, wind: here by the ocean every noise was surrounded by silence that reached all the way to the stars. Monica studied the white shingled building above the slope of green lawn, deep bays rising two storeys on each side of the front door and the windowed porch.

In over three years as a Deck Cadet he explored this world and although he uncovered much of the magic of the sea, he also encountered brutality,...
