The one restaurant in Jemseg didn't open until 8 AM so we opted for sandwiches purchased in Oromocto yesterday for our breakfast. Then we had great cycling weather throughout the day. The highway shoulder was a mix of great smooth pavement and old rough stuff. The ups and downs were quite manageable. This section of the Trans-Canada Hwy is relatively new, which expressed itself in the lack of services along the way. Interestingly we did see a sign for a newer restaurant, service station and motel that was not shown in Google maps.
After some 97 km, we stopped at the first rest stop for ice cream and decided to extend the ride a bit and booked a room at the Wild Rose Inn. This hotel is far enough from the highway and city not to be obvious to many travellers. Perhaps this explains why we got a great price for the fabulous room.
Our room at the Wild Rose Inn.
It was full of antique furniture, the nicest room we have had in the entire trip. It was also very spacious.
As there was no convenient restaurant shown on the map, we stopped at Costco some 5km before and got a great Caesar salad and a taco kit. We have seen so little in terms of good vegetables that we attacked the salad with gusto. Distance for the day 135km.
