Many people write a trip report on TripAdvisor after a holiday. Each one is very different. Some give a detailed itinerary with information on accommodation and eating out. Others give personal views of activities and places visited. Some have information on hiking trails. They are a useful source of ideas for visitors planning a trip.
Below is a list of trip reports which have been produced over the last couple years on the Nova Scotia forum. The more recent reports are listed first. There have been problems with clickable links to the reports, so a tinyurl has been made for each. This is also nonclickable so there is a need to cut and paste.
At the end are links to photographs of Nova Scotia.
