Thanks for the info folks.
We just got back from the trip having limited ourselves to Newfoundland. From what's been said on here and elsewhere that was a good choice.
We had a fantastic time, quiet roads friendly people and good scenery. It did make me realise how lucky we are living in Scotland, at least with respect to scenery.
I'd reccomend Newfoundland as a destination especially if you like seafood. Lobster sandwich $5.50 (about 4 quid) the wee fella had been swiming about that morning!

Advice on Newfoundland / Nova Scotia
We're looking for a bit of advice on touring the above locations.
We are flying in to St John's in Newfoundland and have 3 1/2 weeks available before we need to be in Toronto for a wedding. Our loose plan was to split our time between the 2 areas before either flying or getting a train to Toronto. The stumbling block is that there doesn't seem to be any public transport that is bike friendly in Newfoundland. This means we'll either need to spend the 3 weeks there or just tour in the SE corner of the Island before getting a ferry to NS.
Any advice on suggested routes, areas and transport links from folks who've been there recently would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave and Jill
