Onto the Gentle Island

Greetings from PEI! We have just made our way onto the gentle island across the confederation bridge (which is quite impressive) and have stopped at the PEI information center to collect some information on campgrounds near Charlottetown. As beautiful as New Brunswick was with its trees and rolling hills, we are pretty excited to see the sights in PEI. We left Moncton this morning after spending the night with Katie's mom's friend, Caroline and her cat Pino at their beautiful home. It was definitely nice to spend a night in an air conditioned home after spending the past few nights camping in the heavy summer heat. Caroline also cooked us up a delicious dinner and we are extremely grateful!

We have also been quite fortunate these past few days as we have managed to avoid the thunderstorms that the area has been expecting. Instead we have been cycling in the beautiful sunshine (and its accompanying heat) and perfecting our cyclist tans! We covered quite a bit of ground through New Brunswick biking between 130 and 190 km each day and we are looking forward to taking a slow day tomorrow to enjoy Charlottetown and see some of the sites that PEI has to offer.

It is pretty amazing that our journey is coming to an end with only one more province yet to cycle through. Once we are back into Ontario we will make sure to put up a link where you can view some pictures of our amazing country and the amazing people that we have met up with! Thanks again for all the support from back home we are looking forward to seeing you all very soon!
