We left Miramichi pretty early this morning, as we had another long drive in front of us. Unfortunately the weather’s been very rainy and foggy all day, so we definitely missed some beautiful scenery along the way.
We stopped for lunch in Truro, at the most unassuming looking little place. But oh wow, that was probably the best food we’ve had in ages – the guy that runs it is a classically trained chef, and the boy can cook! So that cheered us right up.
We did see a deer running along a field, surprisingly the first one we’ve encountered on this trip.
We didn’t realize there’s only one way on and off Cape Breton:
This place must be hell in the winter.
After about another hour’s worth of driving, the countryside finally started to change and become hillier and wilder – neither of us can wait to see this place tomorrow when the weather is better. We finally arrived at what we think is going to be the best few days of the trip. We’re staying at Canada’s oldest single malt whiskey distillery:
We splurged and booked a private 2 hour distillery tour and tasting tomorrow afternoon. Jon’s already salivating.
