Dear Gilles,
Today we moved out of our cute little cabin that saved us from the rain for a few nights and took the ferry to Nova Scotia and onward to Cape Breton Island. We travelled about 350 km.
It was a really nice day of 26 C- a shame to be in the truck.
We took the Wood Islands Ferry across. It saved me some driving, which meant that my mental capacity for paying attention to everything around me was spared.
We made it to the Baddeck Cabot Trail Campground and they graciously upgraded us to a cabin with a 2 piece bathroom in the same space. Luxurious. Though, when the weather is NOT wet and rainy, it sure is nice to be outside in a tent.
We're on a lake, with a sandy beach, so if the weather stays nice I'm sure there will be some swimming.
We're about one hour away from the Newfoundland ferry, so we'll stay put here until the day our scheduled crossing. Our time in Newfoundland is still only very loosley planned as I want to see wait for weather and adjust accordingly. It's easier to tent than find lodging - but I really don't want to do freezing overnight temperatures again.
The blackflies are out and they're nipping above my sock line as I sit outside on the porch.
I'm looking forward to the next few days in Cape Breton.
