Route to Amherst, Nova Scotia

After a great breakfast at The Canterbury Cottage, we headed out on our journey to Nova Scotia. We rode through Acadia National Park, but couldn’t do the whole loop to Cadillac mountain because of time.

We drove through Maine on route 9 which took us to Calais without much traffic and turned out to be a great motorcycle road.

We crossed the border into New Brunswick and added an accessory to our motorcycle to celebrate the occasion.

New Brunswick is such a beautiful province! Hilly, trees as far as the eyes can see, water, rivers…an outdoor paradise. Despite being a weekend, there was barely any traffic between major cities.

We arrived in Nova Scotia in very high crosswinds for the last 10 miles of our trip so we were ready to get off the bike. Aunt Cathy and Uncle Don had a scrumptious home cooked meal waiting for us. We enjoyed great company and warm bed before embarking on the adventure to Spencer’s Island the next day.

  1. Last year we took route 9 after dark between Calais and Bangor. Twisty and hilly and a great deal of truck traffic. We missed the beautiful views. New Brunswick is very beautiful. Wait til you hit Cape Breton! Love the flag Jeff – we’ll make you an honorary Cannuk.
    Enjoy your holiday
