Nova Scotia, Canada

Nova Scotia is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada. It is one of the three Maritime provinces and one of the four Atlantic provinces. Nova Scotia is Latin for “New Scotland”.

Petra

We spent the day visiting the Lost City of Petra. Trade routes moving to the sea led to the decline and abandonment of Petra in the 7th century A.D. It remained forgotten for over 1200 years until its discovery in 1812.

Dubai & Oman

During our overnight stop in Dubai we toured the city, went to the top of Burj Khalifa, took a dinner cruise aboard a dhow on the Dubai Canal, raced over the dunes in a 4-wheel drive and rode a camel.

Cairns

We spent the day on a 4-mile long gondola ride and then a 37-mile long train ride through a rainforest dating back 100 million years. Quite the experience.

Sydney

After a spectacular sunrise sail in, we took a Big Bus hop-on-hop-off tour around this beautiful cit, where we saw highlights of the city, both old and new. Just when we were thinking it couldn’t be better, we were treated to fireworks display at the Sydney Opera House
