G - Reporting

So after the 1st night camping in some time and still itching from the mossie bites we broke camp and started Swiss or rather didn't it wouldn't turn over so after trying for a while with no luck a man appeared with a a battery and some jump leads (see its those nice Nova Scotians again), with the 2nd battery it eventually started but did not sound well, so garage trip was in our immediate future.

We managed to limp to the nearest big town with a Toyota dealer and waited for the verdict, a few hours later it came in we would need a new fuel pump and it would be ready tomorrow, not so bad so we booked a cheap B&B and the dealer drove us down there.

So we now had a night to spend in Port Hawksbury in Cape Breton, its the not biggest or most exciting town but again the people are nice and we found a small restaurant for dinner and a beer followed by a stroll along the water front where we watched the sunset so not the best day but far from the worst, still imagining if this had happened in the middle of Mongolia!
