Destination Cape Breton Island: Day 1

June 30th, 2006: Thanks to rT's constant pestering, I finally agreed to try and drive a rented car. We rented a Toyota Yaris from Enterprise Rent-A-Car for 4 days. We paid approx 180$ which included collision damage (I'm paranoid) + 5$/day underage fee.. not too bad eh? And so with Varun as my GPS system and Car DJ, the three of us began our 'Tour of Cape Breton Island'.. We rented the car at 5:00 pm so we couldn't got too far on Day 1 coz have a G2 license and so I'm not allowed to drive between 12pm-6am.

We covered Sydney, Glace Bay and New Waterford on Day 1..

Above: Parked in the Wal-Mart Parking lot 5 min after renting the car.. I needed a breather and time to look at the cars controls..

Above: The Yaris parked in the Cape Breton University parking lot. Thats the rez in the background. Me in one of the CBU class rooms..

Varun and rT on the boardwalk in 'New Waterford' (it's 30 mins or so from Sydney)

Some cute dog @ New Waterford. The guy stopped to ask if we were lost coz we were looking at the map... We were just looking for places to drive to...
