June 26 - We're in P.E.I.!

We're in P.E.I. !!

ENTERING PEI

With a forecast of rain for the afternoon we got an early start today but didn't entirely evade the rain this time, it was reasonably gentle showers, however, which let up after a while. We took a coastal path along a less busy route to the Confederation Bridge which provided some early glimpses of the ocean and the bridge.

At 93 kms, this was a comparatively light cycling day before we loaded the bikes onto the van to cross the bridge. We then drove to Summerside where our lovely Quality Inn suite is located.

Tomorrow we backtrack again to the P.E.I. end of the bridge to resume our journey. We will be met at the narrows prior to being led by police escort to the West Royalty Elementary School in Charlottetown for speeches by the principal, and Charlottetown's Mayor as well as giving a small presentation to the kids on their last day of school. Then it's off toward the ferry to Nova Scotia which we hope to catch before 4:30 PM.

It must feel incredible to be in PEI already...I can't believe you've actually gone across the whole country on bikes when most people fly it! Enjoy your last few days of cycling the T-can.
