Our first bounce of the day was to the Sydney waterfront. Did you know that there is a big fiddle sitting in front of one of the buildings there? It's really, really big, isn't it?
We headed back to the B&B, and Denise spent some time chatting with Gordon and Bev (our hosts) about where we should wander for the rest of the day.
Our first stop was Mira Gut. Don't you think that's a strange name? We headed a bit north from there, back towards Sydney, and then Denise decided to follow a dirt road onto a little island and out to Waddens Cove. That was such an empty road, and yet... there were a number of houses at the very end of the road. It seemed like such an incredibly isolated place to live.
Next stop Louisbourg. I think most people head there to visit the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site but today didn't feel like a history kind of day. Instead, we started at Louisbourg Light. The rocky coastline reminded us of Maine, of Acadia National Park. The ocean was even making the same big crashing noise as it does at Thunder Hole in Acadia. Oh! And we could hear the sound of rounded rocks rolling together. We bounced down a trail in that area, and of course Denise was playing with her camera.
After a bit we decided to move on to a different spot. This time we headed to Kennington Cove, a beautiful beach accessed via another dirt road.
We were so lucky that Denise asked Gordon & Bev for their suggestions - we never would have seen Kennington Cove on our own.
It was a good wandering day.
