PEI 20 - Full Circle

Day 13
Sunday, July 31, 2016

Sunday morning we counted fewer than ten cars on the road our first hour of riding. We had a peaceful day.

We stopped in Abrams Village at the Acadian Musical Village. We stopped in the restaurant to try some Acadian food. It was deserted for a Sunday afternoon. We shared a bowl of seafood chowder and Rapure - pork and potatoes with molasses for dipping.

We returned to Linkletter Provincial Park, where we'd stayed Thursday night, the night it rained. This being Sunday, we expected to have our choice of campsites and looked forward to picking one on the water. But even though we arrived by 3:30, all the good spots were taken. We found out later that Monday was a holiday in PEI. Nobody could tell us why. 
We arrived with plenty of time to relax.

We celebrated our last night on the road with a delicious dinner of Ramen noodles and tuna.


63 miles, averaging 11.46 mph. Probably our fastest day.

Rob was determined to make it to a total of 700 for the two weeks. As the miles ticked by...

Rob: "How are we doing?"
Me. "696."
Rob: "It's in the bag. I say anything over 695 we round up."






Yup! More potatoes. That's the Confederation Bridge in the background. We completed our circuit of Prince Edward Island before noon on Monday for a total of 696 miles.
