After a five hour drive we arrived at our campground in Beddeck Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island. The surrounding area is very hilly and a 62 mile long inland sea “Bras D’or Lake” is just a short distance away. This inland sea is a combination of fresh and salt water and connected to the ocean via several channels.  After setting up the campground owner asked if we wanted to go to a Chowder cook off at a Gaelic college about 20 minutes away. We said sure and off we went. We feasted on Seafood Chowder and really enjoyed the entertainment. What a great first night in Nova Scotia.
