Today was in large part a vist to the Fortress of Louisbourg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_of_Louisbourg. Breakfast at the Louisbourg Harbour Inn was great, if you are in Louisbourg, recommend going there. You drive over to near Fortress Louisbourg and park at the visitor’s office. There you catch a bus which takes you to the Fortress.
