Packed up in a light mist, though luckily we got everything stowed away before the rain intensified. Stopped a little ways down the road at the main campground to enjoy a nice hot shower before we hit the road in earnest.
After a souvenir stop at the Canso Causeway, we actually headed southeast rather than OFF Cape Breton Island, through Port Hawkesbury and down the 104 to visit the Isle Madame area - yet another island off the coast of an island, with yet more causeways. Nice area, certainly a much more quiet part of Cape Breton, less rugged and spectacular but still pretty nice.
After a quick loop around the island, we headed back to the Canso Causeway and crossed back over to the mainland, making good time westbound on Nova Scotia 104 and then New Brunswick's Highway 2.
We already knew we were stopping for the night in Moncton, staying with Jane's friend Roxi - thanks again for the hospitality! Ironically her boyfriend was in southwestern Ontario at the time as guitarist in the band The Motorleague - check 'em out, they're about to be big! She also joined us to meet some former Ontario colleagues for dinner and drinks at the Pump House brew pub downtown. Nice to see some familiar faces again, especially when there's beer involved.
The sign says it all!
