The Atlantic Dip

Halifax bridge after the dip with no kite.

Rode with Bruce about 25km to the ocean in downtown Halifax. It is nice to have finished! Go fly a kite ( I had save the last dollar store kite to fly the last day and it was gone inside of ten minutes!!) flew the koop.

Halifax Metro

Rode out from top drawer hospitality at Mike n Maryellen's (dinner to die for n Bkfst with back bacon n a good visit). Photo of our bikes outside of the house at departure time. Went about 110km to Bruce's house in blue sky n sunshine (yippee!!).

Warm n cozy at Truro

Flowers still blooming along the road. 

Rode about 70km. Dinner with Mike n MaryEllen.

Wet day to Pictou

Rode about 70km to the Wood Islands Ferry n got a room in Pictou. Worst weather day that I rode in since the beginning for wet n wind. I have been very lucky. Phone camera wouldn't operate with wet gloved fingers so photos of/from the ferry.

Charlottetown(Cornwall)

We rode from the cottage (photo of the plaque on it's wall) where we stayed to the bridge and waited a while for the truck to haul our bikes n gear across the bridge. Then had lunch and a very damp (hvy drizzle) ride for a couple of hours followed by a couple of hours with no drizzle and some hills to create body heat from peddling!! Lotta spuds n red soil.

The Ferry is gone

The Confederation Bridge in the distance! Two swans in Sackville(home of Mt Allison Unversity).

The sun, which I had not seen for several days.

Low tide on a creek/river.

Got to Cape Tormentine campground and met up with Bruce(we met at cubs around 1960). This is where the ferry used to go from over to PEI. Rode about 115/120km and onto one gravel country road(High Marsh Road) that surprised me by having a covered bridge on it - photo too. No flat tires - stayed off the Trans Cda Hwy where steel belt tire from transport trucks abound.
