East Coast Trip 2016 - Day 016

Today is a beautiful day. It is warm, well at least the warmest day I've had so far and even with the constant wind the temperature is perfect.

Start the day with a quick stop at the ferry terminal to change my date of departure. It seems when I booked the ferry ride I had me leaving the very next day so had to change that.

Then it was off the the south end of the island, L'Île-du-Havre-Aubert. I must say that this is a stunningly beautiful island. (...)

East Coast Trip 2016 - Day 015

I love an afternoon ferry.

Today starts off as a beautiful, sunny warm day. It will also be my second ferry ride as I head to Iles-de-la-Madeleine. And the best part, the ferry leaves at 14:00 so plenty of time to pack and get ready.

All packed up I head to Souris and the first stop is the gas station to fill up the tank and 25 litres into the Rotopax. Not allowed any more than that on the ferry. (...)

What a difference a day makes. 

Today I plan to go to the most eastern point of Prince Edward Island. For the first time on this trip the day starts out sunny and warm. Yes warm. (...)

East Coast Trip 2016 - Day 013

Today starts with something that I haven't seen in a long time, blue skies and sunshine. The temperature is warming up slightly and it looks like a grat day for riding.

The route for today is to travel around the centre of the island and supper in Charlottetown.

First stop is the Confederation bridge but from the P.E.I. side

East Coast Trip 2016 - Day 012

And another rainy day start. Yes I know, I'm on the east coast so I should expect this. And I do but every day? 

So todays is riding to the most western and northern parts of the island. I do get brief glimpses of blue skies and sunshine but they do not last long.

As I'm riding out to the western point I notice a lot of the back roads have "No Exit" signs on them. These I found out are the roads I want to ride on. (...)

East Coast Trip 2016 - Day 011

Well it finally looks like it will be a fairly good day.

The tent has almost dried out and the sun is peeking through the clouds. Still cool but at least the temperature is now in to the double digits.

Loaded up I head out on dry roads and the day is looking good. (...)

Day ten was another on and off rainy day. I spent time visiting relatives so there is no map and no video.

I will leave you with pictures of a deer that came in to the campground.

East Coast Trip 2016 - Day 008

 

Today I'm off to New Brunswick, in the rain. Packed up camp in the rain so the tent is now quite damp. 

Started off from the K.O.A. and it was raining but not to hard but it started to come dowm more and the temperature dropped into the single digit, 9° C. Stopped in to Auberge du Faubourg for breakfast, coffee and a chance to warm up.

Rained most of the way through Quebec and slowed down once I reached New Brunswick.  (...)

East Coast Trip 2016 - Day 007

Day seven was a more relaxing day. I was planning to go to another park but spent the day doing laundry and some maintenance on the bike.

Rode in to town to to grab a larger bag to pack the tent in, then buy some more beer and fill up with gas in preparation for leaving tomorrow.

I was invited over to the neighbours camp site so I went over and spent some time with them. Then off to bed early for tomorrows ride to New Brunswick
