Louisbourg - Old French Fort



From PEI we drove through rain and storms and back through time to Cape Breton's Louisbourg - a French fort and fishing port in 1700s. One fifth of the fort has been carefully reconstructed for tourists to come and relive - including dining in authentic inns and eating typical sailors' port fare (bread, cheese, sausage, beans, fish soup, and a whole lot of blandness).

THANKS SIMON & GENEVIEVE!! (at the falls above)

We had a great time with a very warm welcome from these guys who took time out to show us around and give us endless tips. AND, this great dessert at the restaurant they work at... the Chocolate platter - divine!

Hope to see you guys again soon, especially if you are coming to Hong Kong.
