The Top 5 Reasons To Make Nova Scotia Your Next Vacation Destination

ProBlogger had a great challenge for their readers. They wanted everyone to write a Top 5 list which related to their blog. It sounded like a fun and interesting idea so here is my list of the top reasons to make Nova Scotia your next vacation destination.

5- We are extremely multicultural. Discovered by an Italian, we speak English, our name is Latin and means New Scotland.

4- We do not actually live in igloos or say “eh” at the end of every sentence. This only happens in the other provinces of Canada.

3- You can enjoy all the fun of swimming in the ocean with no sharks……or warmth

2- As the old saying goes around here “If you don’t like the weather when you wake up, don’t fear, it will change in 5 minutes”

1- Halifax has more bars per capita than most places in North America...Need I say more?

Are you sure about "More bars per capita then anywhere else"

How about St. John's, Newfoundland

To be honest I am not sure about the most recent figures. I know Halifax and St. Johns have traded places for many years but the last I heard Halifax was leading. I will try to find something more concreate.

I have been unable to verify this so I decided to modify it slightly. Thanks for the correction Gary.

I have relatives over in Nova Scotia. I've always wanted to go. And it's true being a Western Canadian I do say Eh a lot ;) Eh?

I heard some town in Western Montana claimed to have the most bars per capita. I'll have to do some research :)

I thought Nova Scotia was famous for the fishing?

I grew up in Nova Scotia, and you post reminded me of all that we miss when we move away. Thanks for the fun glance at a great province.
