Ferry to Nova Scotia and drive through Cape Breton

 

The ferry ride back to Nova Scotia was so foggy we didn't bother to go outside or take pictures. Mercifully, it was also very calm so no sea sickness for me.  I had already loaded up on Gravol so I did a lot of napping.

We camped at the Mira River Provincial Park again, where we were again serenaded by many birds.  Leo and I were thrilled to get good looks at a Northern Parula and a Blackburnian warbler.

Lousy picture but proof of sighting.

The next morning we drove back on the southern scenic route along Lake Bras d'Or.  We stopped at the St. Peter's Canal which connects Bras d'Or to the ocean where we spotted the heron pictured above.

We got to watch a boat go through the lock!

We arrived home to Rick and Catherine's home in Chester Basin and slept in the guest suite, ie. the motorhome.

Last week in real time during the NS floods, water was flowing into their basement.  Rick and Cathy were in Cape Breton, but their son pumped it out for them.
