We left around 9 am with the forecast for 12 to 25 mph winds coming from the southwest. Given yesterday’s bit of bluster and chill, we layered up with our windbreakers anticipating a cold start. But as the wind was coming from the south, the chill of yesterday was transformed into a hot wind that […]

>As Ted and I was finishing up our ride yesterday, the Confederation Trail swung us near the water. To our right was a field of wheat and to the left was St. Peter’s Bay with dark blue water and a myriad of mussel markers. A large church rose above all other buildings on the opposite […]

For the past four days, Ted and I have been loaded down with all of our belongings that we must truck from B&B to B&B. But last night we got to enjoy biking sans luggage as the restaurant we were dining at was 1.5 miles away from our B&B and there was no need for […]

A few days ago we passed a nondescript building with what appeared to be poles sticking out of the ground. Upon a closer examination, the building was the headquarters of the Native Council of PEI, an organization for Aboriginal people not living on the reservation.  The poles are carvings that were provided to the local […]

A slightly later start at 10 am, and we are off and back on the Confederation trail. Cloudy and slightly cooler, I decide to take Ted up on his offer for bug repellant. Happily, he is using a skin-so-soft based spray rather than DEET. Hopefully, when we stop the bugs will not bother me as […]

We have both been pleasantly surprised at the excellence and freshness of the  meals we have been served during our stay at PEI. The freshness of the seafood, in particular, will spoil me for quite a while in the future. Yesterday’s meals were no exception. For lunch at Carr’s Oyster House, Ted had a cup […]

On a trip like this there are more photos than we can use for a single post. (Or I forget to use one or Ted forgets to send it to me.) Here a few photographs that we want to share with you. Show me the lobster: These colorful lobster pot markers are an example of not […]

It is another great day on the island. Clear skies, a slight breeze, and warming temperatures. We leave our hotel around 9 am, needing to have an early start today. Yesterday we needed to pedal only 29 miles; with side trips that increased to 36. Today we take mileage up to 49. Turning onto the […]

We all have weaknesses, but one of the most elemental is ice cream. particularly in the summer. As we were checking out of our hotel on Sunday, one of the employees was giving Ted the low down on where we should go for ice cream. And Kenny’s was on the top of the list. It […]
