| Morming - Feeding time for the mosquitoes |
Posted Aug 31 from Lake Ainslie NS
We started off the day with an amazing sunrise and swarms of morning feeding mosquitoes to assist us in our preparation of breakfast. This was our last meal to cook for the group, and our last day as sweep too!.
I decided to take the most circuitous route to Murray beach, basically looping along the coastal road at every opportunity. My first loop took me to Cap Lumiere where I got a view of the Strait of Northumberland, and across it, the North Cape of Prince Edward Island, Canada’s smallest province. It continues to amaze me how far along Canada is with green technology, the horizon of the North Cape was covered with massive wind turbines, slowly churning out electricity for free!
One of the highlights of today was a small farmers market in Bouctouche, NB There were stalls with vendors selling everything from coffee to Indian food, and on stage there was a band of musicians,, the youngest probably 75 years old, playing Cajun music. Here is a shot of one of our riders playing with the band!
We stopped in Shediac NB, home of the mutant lobsters on which the movie Godzilla was based - they used a dinosaur instead. After an hour stop there, I headed on and along the planned route. About 20 miles from the end, I looped once again along the coast, but this time was rather disappointed by the views. It did add enough mileage to the day to let me log another 100+ mile day though!

| Sunset iver the Strait of Northumberland |
The campsite was overlooking the Straight of Northumberland, and afforded a spectacular sunset before heading off to sleep (at around 8:30 – quite the exciting life for us cyclists.
