If Plan A doesn't pan out

....then plan B, and if that doesn't work go to plan C!

The original weather forecast for today was showers in the afternoon so we planned to leave Halifax,do Peggy's Cove and Lunenburg before the rains were scheduled to come and then head north. Plan A scratched due to drizzle/rain (icky) in the morning, so we switched to plan B. We started by going to the graveyard to see the Titanic gravestones. We made it there but didn't even get out of the vehicle because of the rain.

So plan B started with the idea that since the weather wasn't great we would just drive up the east coast of the province,taking our time enjoying what we could. As we crossed the big harbour bridge we realized we wouldn't be able to see much of anything on the coast route so we made a split second decision to change plans and drive on the inland highway up to Cape Breton Island and so we did!

Four hours later we were in a BnB in North Sydney.

We were here at 4 P.M. so we had plenty of time to walk the streets of this old coal mining town. Many of the houses appear to be old boarding houses and have an age and style similar to our BnB. Really nice,but I think tourism and some fishing must keep this town alive because the coal mining days are over.

The proprietor lady told us about a great bistro a block away that had great food and she was correct. Caro thinks it was one of the best meals we've had while travelling. We split a salmon/and sea food meal. Yummy

Tonight we are just being lazy around the room, enjoying internet and planning future vacation activities
