Baddeck and Lunenburg

8.10 Wed. Our steward for breakfast in our stateroom was one of the singers last night. Sydney is a small place on Cape Breton Island so we opted for the drive to Baddeck and the fascinating Alexander Graham Bell museum. We had plenty of time to see all the videos and have a good look round. He had interests in the deaf, aviation, hydrofoils in addition to the telephone. Weather overcast.  Liz did the walk round the deck 12aps for cancer with me filming her on the phone. Not many doing it this time. Mass at 5. Adagio for a while and dinner at the Lido. The show was Andrew Derbyshire from Manchester. He is well trained and better when singing softly. Enjoyed piano man Tom and cocktails in the piano bar. Ship rolling a bit. 

9.10 Halifax Nova Scotia. Robert was our tour guide, a retired history teacher and we had a glorious day. Mahone Bay a charming spot and the scarecrow festival was in full flood so that was fun. Lovely foliage and views. Lunenburg really is a lovely town with original buildings and we had a guided walk down from the old school and visited St John’s church rebuilt after the 2001 fire. Had an excellent haddock and chips lunch at Old Fish factory and local brown ale and blueberry dessert. Nice drive back past the cemeteries where some of the Titanic fatalities were buried. The best tour so far. We ate at Canaletto with a very long wait for our steak which meant we missed the early show so listened to adagio and piano man Tom who was doing country and then to the Road House show which was OK.
