Day 20 Sydney Nova Scotia

On the road early this morning hoping to enjoy the cooler temperatures, heading into the beautiful sunshine.  Travelling on highway 104, then 4 and 247.  The Google lady was having trouble finding a signal so consequently we took a wrong turn and ended up down a rough windy road and we came out at a world class surfing beach;
We left there and it turned to gravel so we back tracked back to 247 for a few kilometers, when we saw a sign back to highway 4 we took the fork in the road and went for it.  Haha we thought the other road was rough but this one was full of back jarring craters and bumps!  We did see the first deer in the Atlantic provinces, a whitetail doe.  We have seen lots of road kill which have been porcupine, stinky skunks, and huge raccoons, lately a couple rabbits.
We got to our room about 1 and headed for a walking tour of the town, found a pub serving ice cold beer and a great lunch.  Gas is cheap at 96 cents but 4 litres of milk is $6.19.
Upon leaving the Irish pub after dinner we followed the sounds of a band playing and found an outdoor concert where we listened to music from the 70s and some Cape Breton jigs!  Great ending to our day!
