Again breakfast at 8:30AM. We head toward BADDECK to visit the famous ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL MUSEAM. It was so interesting to read about Bell's lifetime of genious and compassion, the marvels at ingenuity to make things fly and all project and models.
We had a light lunch (of course seafood chowder again) in Baddeck.
We took Route 105 toward ANTIGONISH. Antigonish has a strong Scottish heritage. It houses the St.Francis Xavier University.
Route 104 and Route 106 took us to PICTOU where we stopped for pictures and dinner. The historic harbour of Pictou is one of the largest communities on the Northumberland Shore. On the Pictou waterfront parks a full-scale replica of the first immigrants ship at the Hector Heritage Quay.
We had dinner at the STONE HOUSE CAFE located in one of Pictou's historic buildings (1815) built by John Dawson. They had newspaper menus and tablemat.
We stayed at a lovely and homey b&B called 'THE RIVER'S END B&B'. A 1860 farmhouse, renovated to mystical and modern standards on a hill overlooking the Northumberland Strait.
We enjoyed a hot-tub and fisherman's life conversation.
