East Coast 2015 Wrap Up



From Quebec to Nova Scotia to Newfoundland to Labrador and back again, it was a great roadtrip.
I put close to 7700kms on the SRT in the end and managed to see quite a lot of the east side of the country.
Other various pictures from the trip are up in the galleries.



This completes the trip galleries, so I've added it to my travel destinations.
Enjoy!


The loop in the wind and rain

When we arrived back on the main land after our sojourn to Newfoundland, 
we decided to drive the cabot trail around Cape Breton.
We spent the night at a fantastic motel in Cheticamp.
It was on the edge of the water and had spectacular views.

Coal Age Galapagos


Located on the Nova Scotia side of the Bay of Fundy, Joggins Fossil Cliffs is the world’s most complete fossil record of life in the Coal Age, about 300 million years ago. 

It was here that Sir William Dawson discovered the first true reptile (hylonomus lyelli), the first animal to live on land and not in the water. 


When it comes to evolution, this little milestone recorded at Joggins remains pivotal to understanding the origins of all vertebrate life on land, including us humans. 

Crazy I know!
