ABOUT US
Michael and Halef live in Atlanta, GA, but are originally from Canada and Indonesia, respectively. They love to travel and try to do it as much as possible. They saved for a few years and are currently on a long-term round the world trip!
My mother was also there on the day they oped the Causeway, She carried an American flag although she was from Glace Bay.
Hahaha nice!!
Great video! Beautiful scenery! Really enjoyed the waterfalls in the swimming area. The bakery and pastries made me want scones and an apple turnover. Thanks for sharing Canada with us!
Thank you Paul 😁🇨🇦
I love the merci beaucoup at the end, respect. Merci Michael!
De rien 😊
You're making my list longer, thank you. 😊 Scones rock!!! ❤ Safe travels and happy adventures.
Thank you Debbi 😀🇨🇦
I was just on skyline trail last Wednesday. The view was awesome. My vacation was short. I could only spend a day in Cape Breton national park.
And we didn't even visit Skyline Trail, as it is the most popular trail in the park and we opted to explore lesser traveled trails -
Great video, thanks for sharing. I love the scenic view and the French Bakery. 😛
Hahaha nothing can go wrong with French pastries 😂
I love that you are showing just how big our little provinces are, full of natural beauty and culture
(a little sad that there wasn't more bagpipes in the background music... but not everyone can appreciate their melodic tones, lol)
We tried to find some bagpipers at the visitors center, and alas we didn't see or hear anything bagpipe-y during our visit 😅
That's why we didn't include it in our video this time around.
Glad you came to CB!!!
Absolutely ❤️
Another great adventure
Thank you Lisa ❤️
Tannins in the water that runs off of wet areas and turns the water brown. Like tea.
Fully noted 😁
You can easily drive around the Englishtown Ferry, but it's kind of fun to take such a short ferry ride.
True!
Your video brought back great memories of Cheticamp and Cape Breton. The bakery in Cheticamp is incredible. Only thing you guys missed was the Skyline Trail. A great hike! That was our only hike while we were there, and I'd love to explore the trails shown here. A great job! Thanks.
Thank you Randy! We had to skip Skyline Trail since they don't allow leashed dogs on the trail, and we always want to include Kana in our walks.
Next time!
Causeway opened August 1955 I am glad you guys enjoyed your trip but you only seen small part of it there are so many beautiful communities.Its to bad you never had more time to explore small fishing villages of the trail like Meat Cove bay st Lawrence;Dingwall;Neil's harbour&Ingonish all beautiful communities maybe next time guys.
We will go back soon ♥️🇨🇦
Thank you for the suggestions 😃
Thanks for this video! I’m visiting for the first time in about a month and this is a great reference. PS: I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but your voiceover is very reminiscent of Anthony Bourdain both in cadence and tone. :)
You're very welcome! We're glad to hear that you found the video helpful as you prepare for your upcoming visit. Also, thank you for your kind comparison to Anthony Bourdain's voiceover style - that's quite a compliment! If you have any more questions or need further information about your trip, feel free to ask. Have a fantastic time on your visit! 🌄👍
you need some tea with that buttered scones.. 😊
Yum 😋
4:40. “Butter” on your scone…… “I can’t believe it’s not butter” .. so not butter! Thanks for taking us along on your journeys!!!
Fake butter, as we call it 😅
FAKE BUTTER? Nooooooooo!
@@davidoickle1778 🤣
What month (and year) did you go? We are hoping to do the same trip this fall. We are 68 and have a Roadtrek. Any recommendations?
We went in mid July, and it was so wonderful to travel around Cape Breton.
What kind of recommendations do you need?
Thanks Guys for the great videos. We came across your channel a few weeks back, and are planning a trip to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland this summer. Your videos have been very informative. One question for you, we drive a 34 foot 5th wheel with a 3/4 tonne diesel truck. We are planning to stay in Cheticamp one night, and then drive the Cabot trail to camp in Ingonish the next night. Are the roads ok for a big RV like ours? And would we fit in the pull offs? Your thoughts would be appreciated!
There were definitely big rigs around, although I'm sure it will be a tight fit of a road for yours. Not impossible, but use extra caution, I'd say. There are official campgrounds where you can park your rig overnight.
@@theRTWguys Much appreciated! Happy trails!
Can you share where the boondocking spots are? The ones on the beach? Great video!
We stayed in Grand Etang - it's along a gravel road that was listed in Ioverlander 🤗
What month were you in Cape Breton? Great videos 🙂
Thank you Dawn.
We went to explore Cape Breton in early/mid August 😃🇨🇦
I don't know if im asking to much of either of you. But can you speak French for the entire duration of your next video ?
Oh hahaha - maybe someday 😀
