Day 8
Today we traveled on the Cabot Trail which took ten hours and 15 minutes. We sure were give out when we arrived back at the MH, ready for some rest and catch up on the events of today. It was a 350 miles journey with I think was 100 miles of construction.
First stop was the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Beddack, wasn't what I really expected, but we can say we've been there. From there we continued on the trail and We saw a Moose and I had to have a picture, then on to Angie's Family Restaurant, where we enjoyed a meal of English Fish and Chips (Fries).
We continued on to Meat Cove, the farthest point in Nova Scotia. There was a village on the side of the mountain, which was very difficult to reach. Back down the mountain to the trail we stopped at a Whale Interpretive Center in Pleasant Bay. First time I realized that Whales at one time were human beings. Ha! Monkeys, now whales, whats next.
We stopped many times on the way to look at the scenery and take some pictures. We came to an early times museum in Cteichamp and saw some tools used in the early days in work with thread making cloth material and other items with the thread.
Our last stop was Joe's Scarecrows, I don't know how many he had displayed as I didn't count them and could not take pictures of all. Reminded me of the hand made wind mills we saw in Kansas.
Tomorrow we will travel to Shearbrooke and don't know it we'll have Internet or not, until then.
