Baddeck, Nova Scotia.
I can't say enough about this charming little village. The population is about 750 and is one of the islands most popular tourist destination. It is considered to be the start and end of the famous Cabot Trail. It boasts of world class golf courses, and there are enough boat tours, restaurants and shoppes to keep you busy for days!
For us, fun was taking the two-hour cruise of the the Bras d'Or Lakes aboard the Amoeba.
There is room for 42 people on this boat and it was full to capacity.
Captain John, the owner and operator of this boat (built by his dad) was entertaining, and educational in his narrative of the area.

| Cute little lighthouse across the bay. |

| Dinner after our 'cruise' Michel got his lobster! |

| The 'world famous' Cabot Trail. This is one of Nova Scotia's top tourist attractions. Here are a few pictures along the way. |
 |
| The Cabot Trail makes a 297 km (185 mile) loop around a big chunk of Cape Breton Island, passing through Cape Breton Island National Park. |
 |
| We began in Baddeck and drove counter-clockwise (as per information booth personnel) and were told later that we should have gone clockwise. The best views are seen in that direction. Nova Scotia is a beautiful province and we still have lots to see! |
