Nice breakfast at the Wild Rose Inn
As we were leaving, Gramie noticed that her front tire was flat so we had to install a new tube. Then it was catch the freeway and pedal. The weather was warm and dry. As we were sufficiently far east, we were spared most of the Moncton rush hour traffic. We were at the Nova Scotia welcome centre just before noon so we took the opportunity to eat and ask about roads to Cape Breton. The information officer suggested that route 6 was better for us, so that became our route as opposed to taking the Cobequid Pass freeway. Moreover, there was only place to stay on the Cobequid and that was in Oxford- not far enough along. The initial part was a bit hilly and rough but it got better as we progressed. In mid-afternoon we stopped for ice cream and discussed our final destination for the day. We chose Tatamagoche and got there in late afternoon, late enough to get the last suitable room at the Balmoral Motel. Distance today was 135km.
We went to a pub for dinner where I had a nice Digby scallop and shrimp penne with a Tatamagoche Brewery IPA. After dinner I patched an inner tube and installed it on my bike.
Instead of taking a picture of Gramie at the welcome to Nova Scotia sign, I asked her to take a picture with me in it because someone pointed out that they hadn't seen me in the blog yet.
Proof that Kanji was bicycling too.
