On this video, we proceed our highway journey by the Canadian Maritimes, this time visiting Cape Breton, a big island in Nova Scotia that’s separated from the mainland by the Strait of Canso. Throughout our go to, we stayed in a transformed barn, hiked the paths of the Cape Breton Highlands, and drove round 300 kilometres on the world-famous Cabot Path that borders the island.
Our first day kicked off early with a drive as much as Cape Breton Highlands Nationwide Park. We spent 2 days mountain climbing the assorted trails and trying to find the elusive moose. The funniest second of that hike: there have been indicators with bear warnings all through the park so I feel that was on the again of everybody’s thoughts, and naturally Togo was strolling upfront as a result of he insists on main the pack. Properly, there was a gaggle of hikers coming from the wrong way and when Togo was the primary one to around the bend all by his lonesome self, the hikers noticed his black furry face and thought he was a bear! Poor Togo seemed actually confused – he simply wished to greet the group of hikers.
After all, no journey to Cape Breton would have been full with out driving the world-famous Cabot Path, which is known as after John Cabot, or Giovanni Caboto, an Italian navigator and explorer, who was one of many first Europeans of recent occasions to succeed in North America in 1497. Cabot had been denied help for his expedition in Spain and Portugal, so he went to England, the place he obtained monetary help from Henry the Seventh. Cabot’s plan was to succeed in Asia by crusing west alongside the North Atlantic and he estimated that this route may very well be shorter and quicker than the one not too long ago found by Columbus. The precise location of his arrival in North America is unknown, however as we speak the route that borders Cape Breton is known as after him.
Throughout our journey to Cape Breton, we additionally visited the Alexander Graham Bell Historic Web site in Baddeck. Alexander Graham Bell is finest often called the inventor of the phone, however he additionally invented the photophone, the steel detector, the hydrofoil, and he designed the Silver Dart which made the primary plane flight in Canada. Maybe extra attention-grabbing is that other than all these nice innovations, Bell devoted most of his life to instructing the deaf, following within the footsteps of his father and grandfather. We actually loved this museum and would extremely suggest it should you’re within the space.
That is somewhat style of our journey to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia! We hope you loved this video and we’ll see you within the subsequent episode the place we proceed our highway journey by the Canadian Maritimes. Subsequent up: Prince Edward Island!
