On my ninth day, I drove from Saint John to Fredericton, then visited Fundy National Park and ended up sleeping in a beautiful village called Alma.

Highlights: Fundy National Park was beautiful and diversified. One could easily stay there and visit for a whole week. In Alma, I had the best dinner of my entire trip through Eastern Canada in a restaurant called An Octopus' Garden Cafe.

Curiosities: If compared to all other Canadian provinces I have been to, the roads in New Brunswick are clearly the worst. At times, I was scared to damage my car. I'm talking about long highways and not some unpaved park roads here. New Brunswick should invest more funds into road infrastructures.

On the eighth day of my voyage, I took the first of many ferries. This one took me from Digby in Nova Scotia to Saint John in New Brunswick.

Highlights: Digby is a stunningly beautiful little town with many creative monuments and numerous interesting restaurants.

Curiosities: New Brunswick welcomed me with thick layers of fog in Saint John which gave the city a slightly chilling atmosphere.

On the seventh day, I continued visiting the southern east coast of Nova Scotia, driving from Lunenburg to Yarmouth.

Highlights: Kejimkujik National Park Seaside was one of the most beautiful spots on my entire trip. One could observe beaches, fields, forests, ponds and the sea for hours.

Curiosities: However, the parking lot of Kejimkujik National Park Seaside was covered in large rocks. The front of my car collided with one of them, slightly damaging it which worried me for a while. However, that was the only incident of that kind during my trip. When I arrived in Yarmouth in the evening, fog suddenly appeared and reduced visibility significantly. My hotel room didn't have air conditioning which got me a reduced fee. I went to the cinema to watch ''Mission Impossible - Fallout'' which I liked quite a lot.

On the sixth day of my trip to Eastern Canada, I finally rented a car and left Halifax. I visited the southern east coast of Nova Scotia as I drove from Halifax to Lunenburg. The weather was great and my Mitsubishi Lancer was very comfortable to drive. Among all the cars I have driven so far, this is certainly my favourite brand and type.

Highlights: I liked everything I saw that day but the wonderful town of Mahone Bay stood out with its beautiful bay, colourful buildings and clean parks.

Curiosities: ''Bao bao!'' ''Was ist hier los?'' ''J'aime cet endroit!'' The number of tourists from foreign countries, China and Germany in particular, easilly outnumbered the local residents in Peggys Cove. While I liked the colourful village, it was an unusually busy place and I preferred to move on rather quickly.

The fifth day of my trip to Eastern Canada was the last complete day I spent in Halifax. I visited the Halifax Citadel which took four hours without ever getting boring, the city of Dartmouth just north of Halifax and Point Pleasant Park in Halifax' south.

Highlights: The Halifax Citadel is one of the most interesting historic sites I have ever visited. Dartmouth turned out being a charming city with numerous beautiful parks along the harbour and its surrounding areas. Point Pleasant Park is without a doubt the most beautiful park in and around Halifax where you can relax and walk for hours and watch the numerous boats and ships in the harbour.

Curiosities: I had a quite epic conversation on the cell phone with my friend Charles while visiting Point Pleasant Park late in the evening and the park certainly has its very own atmosphere at night which I like a lot.
