Cape Breton Island, we briefly visited here 4 years ago, swore to come back, here we were fulfilling our vow.
If you have not been here, it is a IMO a magic place, gorgeous scenery, lovely people and a laid back lifestyle, we were spending 5 nights here with a great deal of anticipation.
Across the Canso causeway, first port of call was Tourist Information, very helpful as we wound our way to our BnB in North Sydney. So you have Sydney on the other side of the harbour, Norht Sydney on the other, and an actual Sydney Harbour, for those of us from NSW, very familiar.
We travelled via the Bras d’Or Lake Scenic Drive, a massive lake system on the island. Eventually arrived at our BnB, bit smaller than North Sydney I am familiar with. Note on the door let your self in, lovely accommodation at the Heritage Home BnB. North Sydney is the exit point for the ferry to Newfoundland.
Our host provided a couple of food recommendations, one of which was the Black Spoon Restaurant. My research prior to our trip had really good reviews, they don’t do bookings, 1[SUP]st[/SUP] in best dressed. We turned up at 6.00 pm, 45 minute wait, leave your name and come back. Turned out to be an hour by the time we got a table, worth every minute. And the lines at the door did not diminish.
Off to Fort Louisbourg and Iona the next day.
