We woke this morning to very cool weather. There has been some rain off and on but not enough to interfere with our plans. We spent part of the day at Highland Village in Iona. http://museum.gov.ns.ca/hv We had a lovely drive over via the small car ferry at Little Narrows and then afterwards drove around St. Andrews Channel up to Sydney. It’s a beautiful area. The leaves are really starting to change now; lots of gold and red. The colors are such a nice contrast against the evergreens.

Around lunchtime we spotted Fitzgerald’s along Highway 105 in Southaven. It was a great little restaurant with the nicest lady waiting on tables. She seemed to really enjoy what she was doing; we thought at first that she must own the restaurant but found out later that she only worked there. She was so pleasant; always singing; a definite stop for anyone going by this way.

By the time we got back to Baddeck it was time for dinner. We thought the Yellow Cello was a good spot; what a mistake! The service was terrible as was the food.
