Cape Breton > North Sydney

By Easter weekend, the snow in Truro has melted so we think, "Great, time to explore!" 

Nope! Just because there isn't any snow in Truro, doesn't mean squat when you head further north. Who knew? (Whispers: everyone else in Canada knows this...)

With our information gap, we head to North Sydney. North Sydney is in Cape Breton, NS. 

Cape Breton is a huge island at the north east of Nova Scotia. It looks like a lobster eating poutine. (See McDonald's post for more on poutine.)

North Sydney is just between the poutine and the claw. 

We're still able to get out a bit to see what's around. 

Oliver wearing grey blends in with the rocks! You can see the Fortress of Louisbourg above Tim's head: closed for Easter weekend. :(

Fortunately the lighthouse is always accessible so we make a stop. 

It's a short trip because it's cold and everything is closed. We'll be back, lobster. Save us some of that poutine!

If you have any questions or comments about Canada or things in general or have a suggestion on where to visit next, feel free to leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you!
