Today we were crossing in to Nova Scotia and since Michael and Justine were on cooking duty we stayed back. Breakfast was pancakes, yoghurt, oatmeal and banana.
There was plenty of headwind today and since we ended up catching the 1.30 pm ferry instead of 11 am (which most of the group did). We crossed in to Nova Scotia and took a side trip to go in to Pictou to see the replica of the ship 'Hector' which brought first 200 Scottish immigrants to Canada. It was very small compared to the ship we just got off, which put things in to a different perspective.
We rode along and passed through Merigomish and at this point the rolling hills became a lot longer. There was one section of road which had much too gravel to be safe and my hands were numb for 5 km that we rode on it. We got in to camp at 5.50 pm and our camp notes said that it had the best sunset of the trip.
Dinner tonight was salad, vegetarian Sheppard pie with beef and mushroom
sauce, Popsicle for dessert. Tomorrow is supposed to be a longer day
(167 km) with lots of ups and down. We plan to leave at 7 am as Ron and
Michael are cooking tomorrow.
