Arrived Cape Breton

Started and ended the day with lighthouses. I so admire the volunteers at Port Bickerton  who have kept their spot going since 1997. Like trains, lighthouses have a mystical fascination for many. I love the placement  of them;  in rough waters protecting sailors through the generations. We took the less travelled roads today, definitely less travelled! Lots of trees and trees and trees. Glimpses of harbours along the way. Hit Cape Breton Island around 6 and reached Louisbourg after  a few  detours. Delicious lobster dinner and a visit to the other lighthouse which is on the site of a lighthouse built in 1734, the first one built in Canada.
