The day started early, the ferry had to be boarded at 3 am, although we did not find out why, as it was only leaving at 5am. The jouney was wonderful, a beautiful sunrise woke us finally up, we saw whales, a whole family ort group, blowing up water and after 7 hours landed in Sydney (Nova Scotia).
What a change, after the rather grey and weatherbeaten Newfoundland we arrived in a colourful sunny little town, with a nice park on the harbour where we had lunch and studied all the material given to us by the Tourist information. Then, we took of, along a 40 km long lake we rolled through a landscape like a picture, just beautiful, only the wind kept being a real pain.
The night we spent in a B&B so hidden and remote, that we thought we never find it. A lady called Jane living there by herself, very funny and extremly friendly runs it, although she must be allready over 70! Winter she spends in Florida, as many people here do. Again, we were very hungry and she drove us to a hotel arround the corner (arround the corner means 7 km here). When we were finished she came back to get us! Unfortunately Kathrin´s bike started to make very bad noises during the day which really scared us. So Jane organized in the middle of the night a neighbour who would drive to work to Sydney in the morning and very importand, who has a pickup. ONe thing remarkable here, it ist very Scotish still and people still us Gäelish as a local language.
