Day Six - Outside of Network Coverage

We arrived late to New Glasgow, Nova Scotia last night, so we called it a night soon after we checked in to our hotel. We stayed at a very interesting place. It was a shady motel that was overlooking a local cemetery. Our room windows got a prime view directly on to the tombstones... While we were moving our luggage to the rooms, we spotted a deer in the bushes beside the cemetery that was munching on the grass. It was quite the experience: staying at a cheap motel across from a cemetery with wild deer walking around...

After a restful night of sleep we continued driving. There aren't many things to see in New Glasgow, so we decided to move on.

We made a stop in the small town/village of Mabou, where we had lunch at a local diner. It started to rain, so we decided to keep on driving to our next destination - Glennora Distillery. This distillery is the only distillery that produces single malt whiskey in Canada. We took a tour through the distillery and tried their famous whiskey.

After that we kept on driving to our next destination - Cheticamp, Nova Scotia. This small charming town is located right on the ocean and we stayed at a cottage that overlooked the water - how cool!

It was still raining, so we couldn't walk around the town. Instead we dined at a local restaurant with live fiddle music. We had lobster again!

This was the conclusion of our day. I was unable to post this blog yesterday because we were outside of network coverage.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE DRIVER (S):

Andrey was the capital of our "East Coast Mobile" today. He drove the car while alex helped him with the directions. But Andrey wasn't the only one who handled our vehicle, Sveta had the opportunity to be the Captain as well.

  1. Those mussels look delicious! Too bad it rained all day. I like the sharing of the Captain position - finally someone else than Garber. :) All the pictures are beautiful!
