A smooth return to PEI from
Ottawa, and picked up Trusty from the shed at City Gardens B&B. Thanks again to a great host, Carol Boyle, and a quick trip to Charlotte’s Rose
Inn, my B&B for the night. John and Maureen are most gracious hosts and have a lovely Victorian/Edwardian style house. John treated me to a quick walking tour of
Charlottetown and supper — many thanks John! The city is becoming a ‘destination’, including cruise ships, because of all it has to offer. It was a warm night because of all the hot air generated by all the federal politicians in town for a few days, but luckily there was an onshore breeze to clear the air! Maureen provided a wonderful breakfast in the morning – my first crêpes of the trip. From reading my blog, Maureen was concerned that I might want breakfast at 5:30 am, but no, not today. I knew that road conditions were good to
Wood , but not too wide in some spots. I was a bit concerned with the amount of traffic at times, so I was glad to get off the road early enough at Stellarton. Starting to get major road fatigue.
Islands and Pictou, so a 9 am start was just fine.I decided to stick on Route 23 to
Wood
Islands instead of the new section of the Confederation Trail because I was unsure what time the ferries left for
Nova Scotia. This means more hills, but the road is pretty good so I made good time.There was a paved shoulder on the road from Pictou to the
TC Highway
