Day 65 Back on the Mainland (Cornwall PEI – Lower Barney’s River, NS)

Posted on Aug 31, Lake Ainslie NS

Another ferry ride this morning, so we started off on another “time trial” to catch the ferry at 11:15 AM – the next sailing was at 1:00 PM so we didn’t what to hang around for that. A few shots of the Eastern (Southern?) part of PEI along the way, but after that it was basically heads down riding, looking forward to the hour-long rest on the ferry ride.

Once on shore, we landed in our 9th Province, Nova Scotia.

I took side trip to Pictou, to see the Hector, a tiny ship which sailed with 200+ Scottish immigrants Nova Scotia in 1773. I can’t begin imagine what it must have been like to be on board with that many people, crossing the North Atlantic in September… and I thought my tent is crowded after 9 weeks of camping!

The day ended with another great sunset – the mosquitoes apparently know when to feed, as they were feasting on us as we were all taking pictures of the sunset.
