We docked in Sydney, Nova Scotia today and booked an all day excursion to view the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton Highlands National Park. It was a 2 hour bus ride to get to the Cabot Trail, then another hour long drive along the trail. The scenery (pictures below) was billed as spectacular - one of the top roads to drive in the world - but both Mary and I found it did not live up to its billing. Maybe it was the overcast day, but having driven the Blue Ridge Parkway through North Carolina, the Trail Ridge Road in Colorado and Big Sur in California, this was not up to those standards. The most spectacular scenery was at a resort perched on this huge cliff (above right).
After we got back we enjoyed Italian night dinner with Andy and Melissa then headed for our cabin to relax and get caught up on emails, etc.

Looks like a little bit of Fall color popping out in those trees. Sounds like a long day of driving. At least now you know what it looks like compared to all those other places :) Oh I can't wait till tomorrow!!! You and Mary take LOTS of pics for me. And keep an eye out for Cornwall. Yep there's a city just west of Charlottetown called Cornwall. Must be named after Cornwall England, my Grandma's hometown. Enjoy~ Sylvia
