We are now in North Sydney KOA
Tonight we are in the North Sydney KOA and parked overlooking some more great views of water and a bridge!
Yesterday afternoon turned into a great lobster afternoon. A number of us purchased and cooked lobsters and now have them stored in the freezer. Then we had a hamburger and hot dog cook out - just before the rain arrived! The show at the Louisbourg Playhouse last night was fun and we all had our feet stomping and hands clapping. The Cape Briton fiddling is great - too bad we don't have Katherine and Dorothy with us!
It rained all last night and today we only traveled a little more than an hour to change campgrounds and we fueled up along the way since diesel should cost more in Newfoundland.
This afternoon we visited the Alexander Graham Bell Museum and it was a delightful time. We all enjoyed it - a lot. We then drove over to the ferry terminal to see how the loading and lining up works out. We will depart here Monday morning for the 20 minute trip to the ferry terminal.
Tomorrow we will drive the Cabot Trail and also go on a whale watching trip. Should be fun!
Our friends from Texas, Wayne and Barbara McCray, were able to get their satellite Internet working tonight - after we went driving around looking for an Internet Cafe! Hope I can get today posted while it is still on! Fortunately they are parked next to us.

Lazy Day and Lobsters
Today is a "free" day here in Louisbourg and we are enjoying the freedom to a have a quiet breakfast at a local restaurant and watching the fishing boats arrive back in port with their lobster catch of the day. Last night we had a double lobster dinner - two lobsters each! Everyone enjoyed it! One thing is for sure - fresh lobster is wonderful and we have had our share!
Our campsite is just off the town wooden walkway and just a few hundred feet from the pier where the boats come in. I have been cleaning up and vacuuming - as well as doing laundry! Many of the others have taken off for sightseeing and shopping.
The people here on Cape Breton are warm and friendly and love to talk! Of course we love to chat with them and we now think these folks all run the local Chamber of Commerce! They know their lobsters are the best in the whole world - and we just might agree!
Tonight the group will cook up hambergers and hot dogs and then we have tickets to the local playhouse which is right next to the campground. In the morning the men are cooking breakfast and then we move to our last campground here on the Maritimes part of our caravan. After relocating (only about 45 minutes travel time) we will then be taking off to visit the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. I am looking forward to that!
