Day Eight - Completing The Circle

Today was our last full day of the trip, so we wanted to make sure that we make the most of it. We woke up early, had a quick bite for breakfast and hurried to make it to the boat tour of a little bird island off the coat of Cape Breton.

This bird island is famous for its birds and various wild life living/nesting there. Puffins - small rare bird species- are a main attraction. However, we also got to see bald eagles, gulls, seals and many other interesting bird species. The trip was lovely and we all enjoyed sunny weather.

After the boat tour we went to the Bell Museum where we got to learn more about famous Canadian inventor. Our next destination was Halifax, which was about 3 hours away from Baddeck, and so we drove straight there while enjoying beautiful scenery of Northern Nova Scotia.

When we arrived to Halifax we took a strall through the city streets and dined at the same harbor where we ate when we first arrived to Halifax. We also enjoyed fireworks dedicated to the festival celebrated in Halifax today - what a perfect conclusion to our trip.
