The Cabot Trail

We had an absolutely amazing breakfast this morning at the Chapman BnB in North Sydney. The lady uses berries from her garden and her own clover honey (from her hive) and makes Gourmet food. It was delicious and Caro and I both agree this could be the best BnB we have ever stayed at.

We drove over to the Cabot Trail and started our day by hiking the "Middle Head" trail (about 4 kilometres return trip). This was a nice trail.

We kept driving up the trail going in towns along the way or stopping at view points. We especially like town of Neil's Harbour. The speed limit in the park is 80 kph and I doubt we went any faster than that at any time.

While stopped for a seafood chowder lunch at Ingonish we made reservations for our evening motel and for whale watching tomorrow.

Continuing along the Cabot trail we came to our next major hike which is called Skyline hike. We walked all the trails there (which totalled 9.2 kms). and enjoyed really awesome views of the highway and sea. Truthfully I think people can come just to this small area of the trail and get all those amazing photos that we all see in the travel brochures!

 Two almost identical photos except I changed the settings in the top one.

A better photo!

Tonight we are in Cheticamp on the west coast of the island. The motel owner told us of a very good seafood restaurant so we went there and had scallops and crab. MMM-good.

Today we walked 17.5  kilometres so we are quite bushed! A great day and we are looking forward to seeing whales tomorrow.
