Sydney, Nova Scotia was my heading which is on the eastern tip of the Province,i have been to Nova Scotia before but only just (Halifax and Amhurst) , so it was a bit of a pleasent surprise of what then followed.Well i must of admit the scenery is absolutely stunning when you get down to Cape Breton, unfortunately here is where i made a huge mistake,after you go over the Canso Causeway there are 2 ways to go,as there is an inland sea dividing this part, one the Trans Canadian or highway4 the route that Mr Tom wanted me to take, against my better judgement i took the latter i realised straight away that this wasn't the most apporiate way and the lack of trucks should of made me realised.You get use to highways which are large wide carriageways this route was bearly a count
ry road and probably the most bumpiest road i have travelled i felt like id been thrown from pillar to post for over 40 kms,but on the upside the views were beautifull.I managed to get to my drop only 8 hrs late as i already had let them know, off to receiving to be greeted by telling me that everyone had gone home and they wont be back until 6 am (this was at 2.30 in the afternoon)shame no one informed me that there wouldn't be anyone there.So it was an early finish for the day,i have been trying to get my fitness back to what it was before i came out here, the previous evening i did an 8 mile run around Grand Falls NB, so i felt a big walk was in order, so off i trotted towards town.You really do forget why your here it seems to be work and sleep so getting out and away from the truck and having a good look aroun
d really does make a change,in this job you see so many places at 65 mile mph you don't actually appreciate it.I also forgot how heavy groceries could be, it took me back to my first few weeks over here without a car, i thought i might as well as pick up some supplies, it was only after i had came out of the shop i realised that i had to carry them back about 2 miles.I was unloaded first thing and i had recieved a message that my reload was also in Sydney a quick look at the address made me realised it was actually about 30 ft across the road from where i was so that was pretty handy.This time i headed for the Trans Canadian and again the veiws were awesome,the sad thing about these roads are the lack of laybys for you to pull into to get out and really experience what is around, it has really made a change coming over to this part of Canada even though its just on our doorstep we don't get over here to often.
