"... a very thorough guide.... This is definitely the book to take with you to Atlantic Canada." Travelwriter Marketletter
Barbara and Stillman Rogers have created a guide to Atlantic Canada that is comprehensive and critical, yet never diminishes the charm of this too little explored area of Canada. This "adventure" guide is for both the novice and experienced traveller. Very practical -- including tips on how not to get stuck on a muddy road. If the Rogers havent found every nook and cranny in Atlantic Canada, then there isnt one worth seeing. I wouldnt leave home for Atlantic Guide without this book tucked into my backpack.
A couple of happy wanderers, Tim and Barbara Rogers, have a stack of travel books to their credit as high as a totem pole. As co-authors and on their own, they have covered such widespread locales as their New England homestead, the Galapagos Islands, African safari parks, Latin America and the rivers and seas of Europe. Here, the peripatetic pair is back on the familiar turf of the first days of their marriage, when they explored the provinces on their honeymoon. "Weve traveled much of the world together," writes the globetrotting duo in the books introduction, "but no place on earth (as Canadas Atlantic Provinces) has constantly offered...so many adventures to broaden our repertoire of outdoor activities." Meandering through New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, kayaking around an iceberg, running exhilarating rapids, or simply watching a family of moose grazing along a lazy river, the authors joyfully record the great natural beauty of this unspoiled land. Jam-packed with useful information, the hefty volume (620 pages) has an easy-to-follow format with plenty of practical travel tips. Included are recommendations on where to stay and eat, plus detailed background on what to do and see, where and when. Whether youre looking for a cultural and eco-travel experience, wildlife-watching, fishing and camping sites, or merely a restful respite from a humdrum workaday world, the Rogers can guide you to a rewarding outdoors getaway.
