Day 11 Cabbot Trail

This morning we sat down to a plate breakfast (they put a plate in front of you and you eat it) with the 5 of us joining our tour director. We then boarded up and headed out to view the Cabbot Trail. The mountain terrain meeting the ocean was stunning as the road wound around the countryside. We stopped at several overlooks and a bog where we saw some insect eating plants and a cool frog. After a picnic lunch we made our way towards Cheticamp where we boarded a small boat for a whale watch (on the love boat). Being on the water was awesome! The water rocked the boat and occasionally sprayed us with salt water. Ann and Jean were able to drive the boat for a short period of time, and then we headed out towards deeper water. We spotted multiple Minke Whales, but they proved to be camera shy. Some caught a glimpse of a seal, but it eluded us. The 5 of us walked to several restaurants before we settled on one and had another good seafood meal. Teleghaph house is where we finally decided to eat.

Lesson Learned: Moose, like whale pictures are elusive.
