Up early and off to the other side of the island. Fort Louisburg!
As we were entering the Fort I texted Shelley to see if we should be on the look out for them. They were about 10 minutes behind us. We met up and did the guided tour with them. Our tour guide, a passionate lady by the name of Hilda. She toured us around the perimeter of the town within the Fort.
After the guided tour, we went on our own touring wherever we wanted. Al and I went into the Inn for a bit of a snack. We had some Vegetable soup which was very good and it was served with bread and butter. The bread was made at the bakery on site. Remember, once you entered the town, you were in the 1700s. After we ate, we went to the bakery---where they made the bread and baked it as if you were in the 1700s as well. The bread of the day was the Medium bread. It is very dense and you would have to acquire a taste for it. We learnt the day they make the white bread everyone buys it up.
If you are going to tour the Fort dress for the wind!
After we left the Fort we went to Napoli's pizza, on the recommendation of Ashley Armstrong. Oh my it was so very good! I told her she should open up a Pizza place at home!!
Since our tour of the Fort took longer than what we thought, we decided not to do the Coal Miner museum today. Instead we travelled to Rita MacNeil's Tea Room.
It is a beautiful former 1 room schoolhouse that Rita bought I think in the 80s. She added on and lived there herself. Most, if not all of Rita's awards are on the walls there. You can have a breakfast and lunch there if you like. We had dessert. All the food is made on site and I must say it was very very good.
Tomorrow the Coal Miner's Museum in Glaces Bay.
