Cabot Trail

We have heard so much about Cabot Trail, "the most beautiful drive in Canada", and yes, it is lovely.

But, I think that driving down highway 22 from Longview to Lundbreck should rank right up there on the list!

David decided that we needed to travel in a counter clockwise direction, just so that I could experience the true heights and cliffs of the road.  He made sure that we were nice and close to the edge so that I could get the BEST view!  There are many beautiful scenic outlooks over the ocean, and they are quite spectacular!  The leaves have just started to change here, and I'm sure in another couple of weeks this road will be full of amazing colours.  The sugar maples have started to change first, and they are the most striking shade of red - we don't have any quite that colour at home.

We managed to get the whole trail done, with a stop for dinner, in about 9 1/2 hours.  Apparently most people do it in about 8, so that was pretty good for us!  The kids played in the surf at a beach in Ingonish - it wasn't exactly beach weather, but they had a great time anyway.
