Halifax and Day 1 on the Cabot Trail



Tonight we are in Chéticamp along the Cabot Trail.  Yesterday we were in Halifax, we walked along the wharf, took the ferry over to Dartmouth just to see the harbour.  Then we had lunch on the patio over looking the harbour.  We started talking to a couple at the next table who were from Midand ON.  We met them later at The Old Triangle Irish Pub for dinner.  We had a good meal and listened to live music.  2 guys playing guitars and a fiddle.   It was a nice night.

Today we drove as far as Chéticamp, found a motel then drove into the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.  We took the Skyline Trail which took us to an amazing lookout.  The photos do not do it justice.  It took a little over 2 hours to walk the trail, it seemed like it was uphill both ways.  We had sore legs when we got back to the truck.  Then back into town for dinner at the Harbour House.  The restaurant over looks the bay.  We ate and listened to a lady playing guitar and singing.
