Leaving the Airport

When I landed at Halifax Stanfield, I really appreciated having a taxi booked in advance. You see, shared shuttles or buses can take time. Like 4 to 5 hours. And make multiple stops in places like Truro or New Glasgow. With a private taxi I could leave whenever I wanted.

Crossing the Cans o Causeway

The Canso Causeway is the point of my trip. It’s a piece of engineering that connects mainland Nova Scotia to Cape Breton Island. As my taxi driver crossed the causeway, I could feel the air change. The island breeze and the lighthouse meant I was officially on “The Rock”, Cape Breton Island.

As I approached Whycocomagh, the scenery changed to hills and blue waters. Whycocomagh is a place. The name comes from the Mi’kmaq language, meaning “Head of the Waters”. It’s where the Bras d’Or Lake starts. I was now in this beautiful area.
