Baddeck

We headed from Halifax to Cape Breton Island to do the Cabot Trail!

Cape Breto is gorgeous! Baddeck is a lovely little town famous for hosting Alexander Graham Bell for a time in the 1800s. He worked on many of his projects here, and is buried in the area.

We had more delicious seafood, toured the Bell museum, did some hiking along gorgeous cliffs, and we were super lucky with the weather! We were able to get in 2 days on the beaches in Ingonish and and Black Brook Cove. There was also a galeic 'Cielidh', a gathering where they play music and explain aspects of Gaelic/Cape Breton culture. The fiddle player was phenomenal!

Sadly I didn't get any photos but we had a great night of stargazing at a small local observatory run by a single, passionate stargazer. Two Rivers observatory is a great stop, and it's free! Highly recommend if you're ever in the area!

We stayed on a cute little house boat, but didn't have much time to enjoy as we were so busy for our couple days in the area! The gentle rocking of the boat was amazing to sleep though!Read more
