There's just so much beauty the heart can believe
And you want to stay longer and she's ever so pleased
You're one of the many who don't want to leave
So walk through her green fields, Go down to the sea"(Rita McNeill)
Today started out much less stressful than yesterday. We had a nice breakfast with two couples from Quebec. They were very interested in our bicycle trip and one of the men had his picture taken with us. They were planning to go to Cape Breton and play golf at Inverness, which is reputed to be in the top 10 in Canada.
We rode on Hy 1 up the Annapolis Valley and were struck by Rita McNeill's words about walking in the green fields and down to the sea. Today's lunch break was in Kingston.
Tonight we are staying at the Micro Boutique Hotel, which doesn't have any personnel on site. We were sent entry codes for the doors and wifi. Our unit is great with a bedroom separate from the living/kitchen room. It is supplied with enough facilities that I plan to make meals rather than eat at a restaurant. Our unit measures about 4 by 10 metres plus a balcony. From it we could see the ocean.
After spending over a month peddling across 8 provinces, I am even more grateful for being Canadian. I am grateful that my grandparents decided, circa 1895, to immigrate to this country. We have seen so much to appreciate and we have met so many nice people.
Our distance today was about 108 km. By adjusting our distances for the last three days, we can make the finale special - riding the last bit with family.
Bet you are looking fwd to a home cooked meal tomorrow!!
