Thursday morning, we bid farewell to Prince Edward Island.

We drove to Cape Breton.
We had initially planned on driving via the coast and stopping at the Celtic Music Center in Judique. However, between spending a bit of time shopping on PEI and a storm coming in the next day, we decided to head straight for Chéticamp and the Cabot Trail. We drove as far as Pleasant Bay. Here are some photos of the spectacular scenery from our drive.
We really wanted to hike the Skyline Trail and figured Thursday was our best bet due to the weather forecast for Friday (the trail ended up being closed Friday due to the wind). We are glad we did it although if we did it again, we would likely just hike the left leg as that is where the better views were.

| Do you see Megan? She opted not to walk down all the steps, enjoying the view from the top. |
It was a nice place to watch the sunset. A park ranger was kind to take some pictures for us.

| The Cornerstone Motel. There is a little food prep area around the corner and we had a nice view of the river from our window. |
