But I have forgotten the early morning bit of drama. We had had our breakfast, but Bruce decided to go and check out where the laundromat was (where we were staying had laundry machines, but charged $7.25 per load!). He found it okay, attached to Peck's Housekeeping Cottages. And he found they had a similar cottage to the one we had, for forty dollars less per night. So Bruce and I went down and talked with the lady of Midtown, and asked for some money back since I had already paid for two nights. She reluctantly agreed, and we quickly packed up and moved the two hundred yards down the street. Phew! A nice place, and the savings to pay for a meal out.
Our drive up the Mira was very pleasant, and quite beautiful. Marion Bridge was as good as the song suggests, from what we could see on the way by. After that, the trip went across country, and was not as interesting.
So we got on our bikes, went the rest of the way to Highway 4, then turned north towards Sydney. It was a hilly and windy ride, but was a beautiful scenic way to go. Some photos:
After a few hours, we stopped for a lunch at Ben Eoin (not as pretty as its name), and then tackled a few more hills before calling it a day.
Now we're back in Louisbourg. We had a wonderful halibut steak supper, cooked in our cottage by Bruce. Nancy did some laundry, so we're good for the rest of the trip. Tomorrow looks like a rainy day, so we'll probably visit the Fortress for much of the day.
Distance about seventy km.
