Ready, set, roll!

It is hard to believe that only a week ago we were standing on the most western point of mainland Europe, and now we are on the most eastern shores of Canada! After leaving our friends in Halifax we drove straight to Cape Breton Island on the suggestion of a woman we met back in April. She told us we must visit the Cabot Trail before heading west. We arrived at our first campground since April and booked two nights where we could leave the trailer and drive the rest of the way up to the Cape Breton Highlands. The roads are steep and we didn't trust the power of our little car. In the end we were thankful that we left the little T@b behind, the roads were twisty and steep, but the views were breath taking! On that note…  We can honestly say we are happy to be back in Canada! We missed the trailer life, and we are pretty sure that Mango missed it most of all! She is back to sharing our small bed, enjoying walks through cool forests, and daily dips in the ocean! Man, this dog has it good! Ok, time to sign off! We are taking advantage of a Walmart parking lot for the evening. Free camping for those of you that may be raising your eyebrows! We just wrapped up a few days in Near Fredericton, New Brunswick! A new post to follow soon! Tomorrow we enter Quebec… must brush up on our French!

Leaving Halifax!
The trail is named after the explored who landed in Canada in 1497!
