Cape Breton Island

We picked up a rental car in Sydney, Novia Scotia, then made a big circle drive around the Bras d'Or Lakes of Cape Breton Island.  The hills of Cape Breton were higher than we expected and the views were bigger!  We stopped in Baddeck, which was the summer home of Thomas Edison.  We walked around town and along the waterfront.  We drove on, taking a ferry at Little Narrows.  The leaves are turning, so the hills of Cape Breton are covered in shades of green, yellow, red, and orange.
