Charlottetown to Lower Barney's River

Today we left Prince Edward Island, riding first to the ferry terminal at Wood Islands 66km away. We had to wait over a hour for the ferry. The ride across the Northumberland Strait took just over an hour.

We arrived in Pictou where Brian and I stopped for fish and chips. We wiled away an hour looking at the sea and talking. Then it was on through the town of New Glasgow to Lower Barney's River where we are camped. Should've a good sunset as we are beside the sea.

The weather is perfect and the terrain easy so it was a good days ride.
The ship behind me is a replica of one that brought the first Scottish settlers to the area in the 1770's.

Tomorrow is an easy ride of 90km to Linwood. Everyone is in a good mood with fine weather and rides end in sight!
