Tuesday we left Bathurst, NB in the rain which followed us offering periodic showers all the way to Sydney, NS. It was not a difficult drive even with the rain. We stopped for lunch at the Welcome centre on the Nova Scotia border, one of the few still open. From there part of the Bay of Fundy was visible.
In Sydney, we stayed at the Hampton Inn. While we were doing our laundry we discovered that the hotel happy hour each Tuesday was “free.” Always better to be lucky. Great way to pass the time while the laundry is in the dryer.
Wednesday morning we were able to sleep a little later, so we did. After breakfast we headed out to Louisbourg, one place we were unable to visit on previous trips to the area. There is a ton of history at the site which may never be fully excavated and restored. The parts currently on display tell an interesting story of early colonial days. There is no way photos can tell the story but here are a few. The first is a 360 degree panorama from the centre of the compound.
