Cape Breton Postcards - Adventures with the crew of MV ADVENTURES

As our time in Cape Breton draws to a close, I'll post some photos from various parts of the lovely Bras d'Or Lake and the Cabot Trail. It has been a magical time up here, and although there is still plenty of Nova Scotia to see, this is our favorite area. This post is about the wildlife and the scenery... tomorrow's post will be about the marvelous people.

The little railroad museum in Orangedale with the neat snowplow rail car

The home of Alexander Graham Bell in Baddeck - whose contributions to society were many and varied, and the telephone was probably the least among them

And the Skyline hiking trail overlooking the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
