Friday 10th, Saturday 11th July.


We rented a car and set out on the Cabot Trail.  This is a beautiful drive around the north of Cape Breton including the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.  We stayed at Driftwood Lodge, (in Ingonish), a rustic establishment somewhere between a hostel and hotel.  But it was clean, in a beautiful location and suited us just fine. 

The park is full of hiking trails of varying lengths and just after checking in, we walked the Middle Head trail, which had beautiful views.  We then drove the loop around Neils harbor and White Point, before dining at the Keltic Lodge


On Saturday we continued the drive to Cheticamp, were we sailed into last year on route to Newfoundland.  On the way we hiked the MacIntosh Brook, and Skyline hikes and took a bike ride to a Buddist monastery at Pleasant Bay.  A full day and very enjoyable couple of days.
