After packing up our bags and eating breakfast we boarded the bus. We crossed Prince Edward Island and took the ferry back to Nova Scotia. On board the ferry we finally partook in some Cows Ice cream, and walked around looking at the view. On one of the upper decks where the wind was rough Nan was a little blown away. After some brief titanic moments we realized we were entertaining more than just ourselves!
We made a stop in Pictou and saw Hector (a ship), ate at the stone hause restaurant and went tarten shopping. (That night a storm came through and we later saw on the news that the ship - Hector, had been damaged!) We then headed towards Cape Breton. We stopped in Baddock to see the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. It was pretty cool. His wife and family were interesting as well, since they were very supportive and helpful in his projects. Bell was involved in a lot more activities than I realized including deaf communication, flight, and submarines.
We checked into our hotel, had a lovely dinner (salmon once more – this time with a mango chutney), and had an evening boat tour on Lake Bras D’or. We saw the island that the Bell family still reside on (Beinn Breagh), and a bald eagle. We capped it off back at the hotel looking at pictures that we have taken thus far and sharing the bottle of ice wine that we bought back in Toronto with my friends from Mount Union.
