The Maritimes and Newfoundland
Moncton to St John's
July-August 2011 ~1,900 km
In July 2011, we flew to Moncton, New
Brunswick and cycled through the Canadian
Maritime provinces of Prince Edward Island
and Nova Scotia. In Cape Breton we visited
the historic fort of Louisbourg. We took
the ferry from Sydney, NS to
Port-aux-Basques, NL. We met up with
Margo's nephew in Deer Lake, and cycled
across Newfoundland to the Easternmost
point in North America: Cape Spear, and
flew home from St John's.

Resources
Guidebooks
We did not use any guidebooks, but
we used local tourist information kiosks
extensively.
Maps
A map of each province is
available free from the tourist office.
Google Maps: viewable on the
netbook computer we carry.
Communication
English spoken everywhere, and
we enjoyed hearing the Newfoundland
dialect. French is useful in Acadian
areas.
