Day 107: (August 19) Charlottetown to New Glasgow (NS) 75km

We saw a few floats from the Gold Cup parade and made friends with some Royal Canadian Mounted Police before heading out of Charlottetown. We cycled to the ferry in Wood Islands. On the way we stopped for lunch at the historical Sir Andrew Macphail Homestead, which had a museum and little restaurant. The restaurant served delicious food, made fresh from their very own garden. We were so thankful for the fresh fruit and vegetables! It was a small detour (on gravel) but so worth it! Yumm!
 Once in Nova Scotia we decided to make use of the daylight and rode as long as we could before dark. We were not able to find a campsite nearby and ended up knocking on Liz's door who kindly welcomed us to join her for some eggs from her two chickens, Suzy and Sally before letting us camp on her lawn. There are some campgrounds in Pictou but they are a bit of a detour from the highway.
Out of Charlottetown we took TCH Hwy 1 to 23 to 315 (busy on the TCH but rideable, and hilly on the secondary roads but much more quiet and direct to the ferry). Once in Nova Scotia we took TCH Hwy 106 which was pretty busy.
