Shediac

Brian and I arrived on camp just after noon. We had shortened our ride by 13 km by taking the main road. There is always a downside and that was another flat tyre - caused by a fine shard of wire from a truck tire. These types of flats are quite common in highway riding.

We stopped in Shediac for lunch and I had scallops wrapped in bacon. The town is obviously a tourist stopping point. Their claim to fame is the warmest swimming beach north of Virginia. Not sure I'm willing to test that claim, even in the middle of a Canadian summer.

The campsite has us tenting 250m away from the truck - not ideal. Somehow the campsite owner thinks that having us tent literally in the middle of a playing field is ideal.

My tent is the orange one. Taken from the campsite where the truck is.

Dinner tonight is pulled pork sandwiches, beans with butter and pumpkin soup - followed by chocolate cake, vanilla pudding and fresh blueberries.

Tomorrow we rode to Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island. We have to cross Confederation Bridge by shuttle. Look it up on Google if you've not seen the bridge before - quite the feat of engineering being 13 km across the strait.
