Zuiderdam MegaVoyage 2018-2019, Sydney, Nova Scotia

We arrived into Sydney to a beautiful warm sunny day. Our friends Laura, Bobby and Donna were at the ship to greet us when we arrived in Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia. Laura was our tour guide and off we went to the Fortress of Louisbourg. The Fortress of Louisbourg is the largest fortified town outside of Europe. This fortified town brings you back to a French colonial life between 1713 and 1758 and an important site during the British - French struggle for what is now modern-day Canada. There was a good selection of buildings, Kings Bastions, barracks, homes, storehouses, chapel, hotel, bakery and exhibits as costumed actors re-enact the lives of specific individuals that resided here. It was a very enjoyable day at the Fort and the homemade bread was delicious. On our return to Sydney we had a picturesque drive along the shore of the Atlantic Ocean with a stop at the Louisbourg Lighthouse. Back in Sydney we stopped for lunch and did some shopping at the pier. It was a great day in friendly Cape Breton.
