Sherbrooke

Yesterday we began in cold and misty conditions to go down the west side of the Cabot trail. This side opens up much more then the east side and offers many more scenic views. We even came around a corner and there was a young moose standing in the middle of the road. He was only eight or nine feet tall, and he eventually decided he could move off the road.

By the time we left Cape Breton Island, the sky was breaking up and offering us a more cheerful blue sky, but the roads were broken up as well as we came down the east side of the mainland. We took the road less travelled and found it to be quite rough, complete with about 10k of gravel and construction. After a short ferry ride we decided to stop for the night at Sherbrooke, before continuing on our way to Lunenburg tonight.
