Cape Breton Island

Yesterday we rode onto Cape Breton Island and made our way over to the historic fortress of Louisbourg. Had the French been able to defend it in 1758 they may have also prevented the defeat at Quebec City in 7and I would be writing this blog in French today.

We then continued up to Glace Bay, but everything was closed up by the time we arrived, so we kept going to Baddeck for the night.

Today we will go up and around the Cabot Trail, expecting frequent stops and not trying to do it all in one day.

We're keeping an eye on the weather forecast as it looks to be deteriorating towards the end of the week.
