2018 Eastern Canada trip: Day twenty-two - From Sydney to Truro

Ladies and gentlemen!

On the twenty-second day of my trip through Atlantic Canada, I drove from Sydney on Cape Breton Island to Truro in Central Nova Scotia. I visited Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site which turned out to be one of the most stunnings sites I have ever visited.

Highlights: Everything about Louisbourg National Historic Site was perfect. Staff was welcoming and spoke French. The bus ride to the site was quite enjoyable. The buildings looked authentic and were in excellent condition.

Curiosities: I bought the excellent Fortress Rum in Louisbourg that has a really fine taste. Several of my friends tried it out as well as had to agree with me. Along with my six pack of Iceberg Beer, this was an excellent gastronomic souvenir of my epic voyage.
