Welcome to the best club in the world: those who've fallen in love with N.S. I've been there as often as I could, and last year I toured the Gaspe peninsula, coastal New Brunswick, and Cape Breton Island (did you get to see Louisbourg?). Dont worry about the ditance there and back, because I did it from Montreal on a Suzuki FA50 (49cc, 97kg.) for 12.70 in gas. It's great! The people are wonderful, the scenery breathtaking, the food delicious (try Fat Frank's, Les Deux Amis, The Clipper Cay...), and the feeling one of civilized peace. This year I'm doing Labrador and Newfoundland on a Yamaha XC180 scooter. The only trouble I had was when I was chased by a weasel in Sussex Parish, N.B.(That's why the faster bike this year). If you go again, take the St. John's River Valley during apple blossom season, or else #108 through the Plaster Rock - Rinnous Game Preserve. Watch out for Newcastle: worst paving I've ever seen. Also, Halifax has some deep sewer gratings that can surprise you. If in the Annapolis valley, see Cap Blomodin and stay at the Bread and Roses in Annapolis Royal. -C.Thomas Weinbaum von Waldenthal
