Charlottetown, PEI     Wed, 9/11      83581-83947 (366 mi) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Woke up, not very rested, but got ready and off the ferry in a hurry. Stopped for gas just outside North Sydney to acclimate and collect myself. They told me that a hurricane was moving in and expected to hit that evening, so I got on the road hoping to make it to Charlottetown before it did. Worked my way around the Cabot Trail - great ride, no traffic, but overcast and cold. Shot back through Antigonish and up to the ferry in Caribou. ![]() ![]() Charlottetown, PEI     Thu, 9/12      83947-83962 (15 mi) The high winds and rain had subsided by late morning, so after fixing Marie's TV (which had been knocked out by the storm), I headed into town to track down the brewery. Glad I finally did - it was now called ![]() ![]() Kouchibouguac, NB     Fri, 9/13      83962-84168 (206 mi) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Got on the road about 11:00 am, after Marie's daughter Giselle came over to make me breakfast. The weather was cold and drab and kept threatening to rain, so I rode around the main part of the island including the beaches (where the water was surprisingly warm from the gulf stream) and Cavendish, site of Anne of Green Gables (apparently a bit attraction for the Japanese). Rode down some real rural (and beautiful) roads to get to the Confederation Bridge - a very impressive 10 mile bridge to NB. The weather was improving, so I went into Moncton to find the Pump House brewery - finally found a pint glass in Canada! Good place, good food, and good beer, run by a firefighter and his Russian wife he met while installing ![]() ![]() |
