Sydney, Nova Scotia

Awful. Not even sure why this was a stop. Whole city is under construction. Could not walk on the sidewalks due to all of the blockages from the construction. Would never go back. We should have gone to Halifax rather than Sydney.

It was okay. We did the hop on hop off bus excursion. Thought the price was high for what we got.

Loved Bar Harbor. We did the 2 hour Acadia Park excursion. It was good. Weather wasn't great, but no one can control that.
