July 24, 25 Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

Weather  One rain day then next day 75, still cool at night 60's
The good thing is we planned an extra day or so every location we moved to and that allowed us a rain day here and there.  With the motorcycle you don't have as much fun out in the wet so we usually lay low and wait out the weather, so far it has worked out good.
Baddeck is a beautiful little town on Bras d'Or Lake, famous for Alexander Graham Bell who had his summer home here. 
The harbour was filled with sailboats and was picture perfect.
There are several scenic drives here and one is called the Ceilidh Trail.   If you follow Celtic music you might know the Rankin Family who are from a tiny village along this roadway.  We stopped for coffee that their restaurant The Red Shoe Inn.

Just a few kilometers down the road is the only Canadian Single Malt Whiskey Distillery ~ Glenora.  

We had a delicious lunch with Whiskey sauce ribs and tried a shot of their scotch.  Here is a picture after the drink, ha ha.
