I had an Aikido Seminar in Halifax at White Point Beach so we decided to have an extented vacation to check out the fall colours of Eastern Canada. We were not dissapointed!

We flew into Toronto, Stayed with a friend in Haliburton Ontario, Drove to Ottawa, Montreal, through New Brunswich, visited another friend in Wentworth Nova Scotia before heading to Liverpool, Nova Scotia. The seminar was in White Point Beach Resort. After the seminar we continued exploring the west and north coast of Nova Scotia before flying out of Halifax. 4300km of driving!
