I don't think I've had a rainless day yet since I starting.
Pretty discouraging, mostly because I can't really enjoy all the
beautiful things I'm passing.
Tonight is sopping, it's been pouring since 2pm. So I decided to use
one of the cabins at camping I'm at. It's a quirky little place, with
a mirror on the ceiling above the bed, but it's a barn ceiling, so
angled all askew for anything. Curious.
Yesterday I did errands in Sydney: groceries, book shopping, bike shop
stuff, and then got to camping before it started pouring for the night.
This morning I threw my tent in the dryer and hoped or the best.
Cape Breton is very pretty, an polite!
I went up a hill and before it started there was a sign that said
"mount such-and-such: you will climb 250 meters in the next 7kms" (in
Nfld this would have had no sign, but several ponds, and the locals
would have said something like "ohyep yeah, you just go over that
little rise there, and keep going for about 100kms. There'll be a gas
station then".
I had a great breakfast in baddeck, and a great lunch in whycocomaugh
at a country shop called 'the farmers daughter'. Sulkie would have
liked it there I bet, except I don't think they serve salad.
Biked 140kms today.
Woohoo!
