This was my first trip across a large body of water. I stood on the observation deck for the entire trip, which is where I shot the picture of the lighthouse as we pulled away from Wood Island. Other than being very windy, it was quite an experience especially as we pulled into port at Nova Scotia. We stayed two nights in the beautiful town of Port Hawkesbury on the edge of Cape Breton Island. Again, the islanders were very friendly.
Pedestrians have the right of way.
Drivers will stop in the middle of the road to allow you to cross the street. The first day we had a local tour guide take our bus through Cabot Trail on the Island. The Scots influence is very strong here. We stopped at several shops that featured Tartans and other Scottish items. The men wear either their own plaid or the plaid for Nova Scotia.
