Cape Breton Island is a lovely destination to visit. The wonderful scenery, the beautiful shoreline views and the rolling hills.
Today was the day we were to do the Cabot trail, unfortunately - the weather didn't permit us to go too far into our journey. After an hour of driving north of Sydney, we found that the rain, the low flying cloud and the fog were going to make visibility poor - and for a 350km trail with scenic ocean views blocked, we thought that we'd turn towards Baddeck, home to the Alexander Graham Bell museum.
After a quick snack, we toured through the museum, taking in a lot of history (inventions etc), whilst learning about the family that had resided within the area.....rather interesting.
Since the weather hadn't improved, we made our way back to Sydney, planning our time ahead - as well as taking in a movie, looking at the local craft markets etc (general touristy stuff!)
After checking the forecast, we decided it was best to boycott PEI, at least for a few days, so we made our way back through "New Scotland" (Nova Scotia) towards Moncton, a good sized city about an hour from PEI.
