After taking our leave from the Cape Anguille Lighthouse we set off in search of another. On our way to admire the recently restored Rose Blanche lighthouse we took a scenic drive through the beautiful Codroy valley, which is well know for the variety of birds that can be found there. This trip (and the awesome iPhone app, iBird) have inspired Shawn and I to become novice birders. The lighthouse was lovely and commanded a beautiful view of the Cabot Strait. As we then drove to meet the ferry that would take us back to Nova Scotia, we soaked in all we could of the picturesque green and granite island we have come to love.
The weather was favorable for our ferry trip back to North Sydney, NS and we crossed with out difficulty. We stayed at the same B&B on our return and were welcomed back as family. The next morning we woke to a wonderful breakfast and adorable company in our hostess. Shawn helped her with her computer while I finished getting ready to go. Today we were going to see the rest of the Cabot Trail. We were impressed at the views and the inclines and declines and the wonderful weather in which we enjoyed it all. We kept our eyes on the water hoping to glimpse some whales, but only saw cormorants and Herring gulls. After a couple of leisurely hikes we finished off our day by driving to Moncton, New Brunswick, a short distance from the Confederation Bridge, which we are going to cross tomorrow.
