We are used to have breakfast at 8:30AM. We took the CABOT TRAIL DRIVE. Named for famous explorer John Cabot. The trails heads towards CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS NATIONAL PARK. It is a route of magnificent highway carved into the sides of mountains that rise high above the shimmering waters of Gulf of St. Lawrence.
We stopped for lunch at a cozy and friendly place called 'MAIN STREET RESTAURANT & BAKERY' (37764 Cabot Trail, Ingonish Beach) for a home-made Seafood Chowder. It was delicious!
We entered the Cape breton Highlands National Park with a sunny break and a beautiful warm and blue sky day. We stopped at the magnificent KELTIC LODGE on the cliffs of Ingonish.
Long drive along coastal mountains. We drove towards CHETICAMP. On the way we watched a couple of FINBACK WHALES along the Cheticamp Harbour in the Gulf of St.Lawrence. Finback Whales are second in size after the blue whale. It was an unforgetable scenery.
We stayed at the 'CHETICAMP OUTFITTERS INN & B&B' (13938 Cabot Trail). Near a valley and Ocean view area.
We had our first Lobster Dinner at 'ALL ABOARD RESTAURANT'. It was a deal! Great food!
