Baddeck, NS

Finally we have made it to Baddeck Campsite.  We will be here for 6 days, leaving Saturday for Tuoro, NS.  

We went into the little town of Baddeck, NS---home of Alexander Graham Bell.  The town is that little, a few shops, post office, fuel and of course, Tim Hortons.  I have been on a Tim's diet lately so that was a nice treat.

On Monday, we toured the Cabot Trail.  On a recommendation of another Ontario camper, we decided to go counter clockwise driving on the trail.  Their reasoning was, most of the scenic stops were on the right side then.  Makes sense---easy on, easy off.

The roads were crappy.  Bumpy!  I guess it is hard to work on them, having to close down 1 side at a time.  We did go through some construction tho -- they seem to be either repairing bridges, or constructing new ones.

The scenery was amazing.  The trail is up and down and has quite the switch back curves.  We had to get out at 1 scenic stop so I could get some fresh air.  It is like the Smokey Mtn. roads--hairpin curves, hills etc.  We stopped at a few of these places.

Making longer stops along the way.  One was for lunch at the MountainView Cafe.  Good food.  From there, we carried on to the Glenora Distillery.  The tour was about 30 minutes long.  All 3 couples were from on Ontario---go figure.  After that we travelled down to Mahou, to The Red Shoe Pub.  This pub is owned by the Rankin Sisters.  We were entertained by Lisa Cameron (also a Grade 6 teacher) during our supper.  

Below you will see some pictures of the day!!!
