Now it's abundantly clear. All that crappy weather was Mother Nature clearing the way for sunshine and blue skies for this important day. Day 6 contained what would be arguably the most significant destination of our entire trip: the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton. The Trail snakes through the mountainous coast on the northwest side of Cape Breton. It was everything we expected and more. The roads were great from a motorcycling perspective. The pavement in general was decent. Some sections were freshly paved and thusly fantastic. The views were absolutely breathtaking. There were plenty of scenic lookout points to stop at for photo opportunities. As traffic was pretty sparse, we were able to enjoy this section of the trip to its full extent.
By early evening, we arrived at the Glenora Distillery, home to Canada's first and only single malt whisky. We didn't arrive in time for the last tour of the day, but since we were staying there for the night, we made sure we would be on the first tour the very next morning.
