Sydney is a small town in the Cape Breton Island area of Nova Scotia. The Celtic influence is
strong, with a giant model of a violin (fiddle?) (plywood? – for the Cohen
fans) on the quayside and an energetic set of young musicians playing
Irish/Scottish music inside. The language is now English. Once more, the locals
are friendly – cars stop to allow people to cross and TSH and Diva have been
greeted by many strangers in the street. One woman said that Coronation St was
her favourite TV programme.
Not much Autumn colour here, in spite of the fact that it’s
a few degrees cooler. But still dry and
very pleasant.
One result of missing ports and having other excursions
cancelled is that the on-board cruise credit which Silversea offered as part of
the package has not been spent. It’s not possible to transfer it to another
cruise so it is necessary to spend it in the Silver Whisper shop. One necklace
so far and TSH is calculating what is still left and what can still be bought.
