Nova Scotia, Canada ~ Day 2

The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site

Since the drive to Nova Scotia went smoothly, we didn’t need our “flex” day, so we ended up needing to find something to do on Day 2 since the ferry to Newfoundland didn’t depart until 11:15pm. We ended up going to the Fortress of Louisbourg NHS since (1) we really enjoyed our time at Fort Edmonton Park and The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village (both of which we visited in 2008) and…(2) it was free with our newly purchased Canada Discovery Pass that we purchased the day prior at Cape Breton Highlands NP. It really was quite interesting and we ended up spending about five hours there learning about the lives of the people during their time there (1713-1768).



 

On the way back, we stopped to see The Worlds Largest Fiddle ~ weighing-in at eight tons and standing at 17 meters tall. 


 (For perspective, Brad weighs-in at 150 pounds and two meters tall! 😄)


Then it was on our way to the Marine Atlantic Ferry terminal in North Sydney for our 11:15pm ride to Newfoundland!
