What a day!
We left Toni and Marion’s house relatively early this morning bound for Wood Islands. And we learned quickly that PEI is hilly, not by B.C. standards but hillier than most of the terrain that we’ve biked on so far!
In Charlottetown, we stopped for a proper breakfast at Leohard’s, supposedly the best place for breakfast in PEI (there was quite a line as we left so I would believe it!), before continuing on the Trans Canada highway.
A few kilometres down route 23 when we eventually turned off the highway, I noticed that a metal piece on my bike rack broke off so the rack was no longer held in place! We realized that we were likely not going to make the 1:30pm ferry, but Leanne took most of my stuff and I somehow made it the last 10km or so to the Wood Islands ferry terminal with a broken bike rack! The next ferry was 3:15pm, which gave us time to have the best lobster poutine ever from a shack at the terminal!
On the Northumberland ferry to Caribou, Nova Scotia, we tried to hitchhike, but instead we found a very nice man with an RV who managed to tie my rack with 3 zap straps! Somehow the rack is holding in place and we biked 35km or so from Caribou to here in Stellarton!
I’m not sure what’s going to happen tomorrow but we are going to try to bike as far as possible towards North Sydney!
