With storms and bad weather in the forecast... I headed out of Moncton along highway 15. Luckily the wind was helping me a bit as it was at my back. But that changed after leaving Shediac... where I did manage to take a picture of the Worlds Largest Lobster.
About 35km from the Confederation Bridge I saw it in the distance - very impressive. Winds continued to be strong. I arrived at Cape Jourimain where I called the shuttle to take me across to PEI. While waiting I met an old man... who was impressed with my cycling across the country - made me chuckle when he gave me a dollar - but at the same time he didn't have to do anything of the sort. Very kind soul - wanted to shake my hand and have his wife meet me. I guess I was a bit of a celebrity.
Crossed the Confederation Bridge and the weather changed... still strong winds BUT the sun came out and the day became quite beautiful. Anyway, went to the Tourist Information, picked up the provincial map and started to explore the Gateway village. Took photos at the "Welcome to PEI" and also started to note all the Anne of Green Gables images everywhere - man she is huge - hence the reason I decided to dress up like her as well...
Anyway, good fun - had scallops and fries for dinner. Happy to be on this friendly island!
Anne-Claire I totally was thinking of you while I dressed up as Anne Shirley ... hope you have a good chuckle everyone. HUGS from the island province.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I JUST POSTED 3 new BLOGS each with some interesting pics. ENJOY!
