P.E.I. was WAY hillier than I was expecting. Nevertheless we took the shuttle bus over the confederation bridge out of New Brunswick and had taken the ferry to Nova Scotia within 22hours. Felt pretty sweet.
The maritimes are absolutely gorgeous. Rolling hills, so many trees and tons of water. How could one resist the feeling or smell of the salty air blowing in their hair?
As I said before, we've had fabulous weather since we've crossed into New Brunswick, and now that we've left New Brunswick we've mostly left the black flies too! I was getting close to the end of my rope at being able to keep any semblence of a good mood with random parts of my body continously swelling up on me. It was painful - and I am happy to be back to my normal size once more!
We are now contemplating more bike repairs though, the nipple of one of Neil's spokes broke through his (supposedly "bomb-proof") rim making it highly unstable. Hopefully we can get it fixed in time to meet his dad, Ed, in North Sydney to make the ferry to Newfoundland.
Alas, I must surrender the computer to Neil so he can look for bike shops since we just lost access to the other computer....
will try to update soon!
(Oh! And it was awesome randomly meeting Aaron (sarah's boyfriend) on the road yesterday! That story and more to come later!)
