our 1st night at Baddeck rained all night, sometimes hard and sometimes with a little thunder and lightning. the campsite was pretty boggy when we awoke, but it had stopped raining and was another beautiful day. Did not think much of the rain until we started driving and saw the sights above. The "waterfall" above is the road we wanted to take. Talked to the lady who lived right by here (youse from away? she asked) and this was the first time this had happened in the 40 years she had lived there. Quite a mess, a lot of the rural driveways slope to the main road and many were cratered and impassable from the water running down. we did still manage to get around though and saw the Highland Village which highlighted Scottish settlement in the region ($9.00 to get in so it wasn't very busy - see last update). On Sunday we went to Louisberg where they have essentially rebuilt a lot of the old fort as it looked in the mid 1700's. Very large and very interesting.
Sunday night to Sydney, where good luck had a Don Cherry sports bar right beside the Walmart. Got to watch the Bombers game but we were the only ones in the whole place interested in it.
it is now Monday and we are on the ferry to Newfoundland. May not be able to update for awhile as I am not sure if they have heard of the internet there (just kidding, Jenny).
Hope everyone had a great long weekend!!
