What to do? ..... what to do? hmmmmmm
Another rainy day in Nova Scotia. Mostly over Cape Breton. Which is exactly where we planned to ride today. So..... We decide to head south down Route 7 where we surmise the rain isn't and then to do Cape Breton on Thursday. But first .... Breakfast. We were advised to go to the Hearthstone Inn... It's where all the locals go.
At a lot of restaurants in Canada they have a really good assortment of Kraft goodies in these little square packages. Orange Marmelade, Straberry Jam, Peanut Butter and Cheez Wiz... yeah I know..... its sounds really cool until you see the cheez wiz.
Breakfast was really good. Guess what I had?
We met some Canadians on Harleys from British Columbia. They take off for a month or so every year and go on a cross country motorbike ride. Here they are headed out to Cape Breton. Rain is in their future.
So we suit up and head out over the causeway and back through Mulgrave intending to ride about halfway to Halifax and then take the highway back to our Cabin.
We didn't make it anywhere near that far. We rode in and out of the rain. You can see why in the picture above. It was only raining half the time... and Peter was only wearing half of the magic rain suit. The road from Mulgrave winds along the coast to Chedabucto Bay. It was not the best of roads and the view was not great either.
We finally stopped at a place with a view of an island Lighthouse. We were tired and not haveing much fun. There was a Port-a-john there with a beautiful view of the ocean if you left the door open. It was the highlight of the days ride.
We turned tail and headed back to the Cabin and decided to take the rest of the day off from riding. We spent most of the afternoon kicking back and then headed out to dinner. We headed off to the Cove Motel & Restaurant, which we heard had excellent Lubster.
Fuel the bikes first.
Outside the Cove Motel we discoverd a big bird growing out of Peters head. We wondered why we never noticed it before.
Chowdah!
Our waitress was Linda and she tied bibs on the Lobster eaters.
After a great dinner it was back to Cape Breton and the Paul Bunyon Cabins.
Sunset and Sleep.
