Did I say sister ship? Why...yes I did. And yes, we ended back "down in the hole" on the MV Highlanders as well! Sigh. Loading and parking chaos ensued. Again. In fairness, it had far more to do with the drivers than with the ship's crew. Just sayin'.
Had a pleasant sleep in the comfy recliners located in the rear lounge, and before we knew the sunrise revealed the shores of Cape Breton. We docked in North Sydney and headed straight out for Cape Breton Highlands National Park, where we planned to spend a few days. Other than a very nice breakfast along the way, we only stopped for scenic panoramai as we drove up the east side of the Highlands, across the middle, and down the western shore to our chosen campsite on a cliff at Corney Brook.
No matter how many times you drive the Cabot Trail, it never fails to take your breath away. Luckily Jane has puffers for these situations.
After we set up, we made the obligatory run into Cheticamp for groceries, before settling in for a soothing night oceanside

Seagulls, moose and waves - it's a wonder you surprised the trip!
(And I love the 'take your breath away'-'puffer' line. Well done!)
