My plan for a short road trip through the Maritimes. Suggestions?

The ferry to St John is decent. It would let you squeeze in extra sight seeing for sure.

If you come down to the valley, there's plenty to see and do. Wineries. Little markets. Some lovely inns and B&B's throughout. I'd suggest stopping at "The Lookoff," not too far from Wolfville. If you go that way stop at the bridge by Port Williams for 5-10 minutes. It overlooks the Cornwallis River, which is affected by the Bay of Fundy's crazy tides. There's also a neat monument in Wolfville, near the gazebo, that also overlooks the tides, that shows a contoured map of the area.

If you keep going past "The Lookoff" you can visit Blomiden provincial park or hike [Cape Split.](The ferry to St John is decent. It would let you squeeze in extra sight seeing for sure.

If you have time, the secondary highways that go parallel to the main highway in the valley (the 101) are a bit more scenic.

If you like history, I'd definitely suggest visiting The Habitation is pretty interesting. I'd definitely suggest visiting Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal. It's lovely! And check out Grand Pré.

If you're into engineering, there's a tidal generating station not far from there that's pretty neat.

That's all I'll pile on you for now. Make sure to eat some Digby scallops before boarding the ferry. If you have any questions, ask someone at a local restaurant, and they'll tell you everything you need to know about their local area.
