8\/3 – back in New Brunswick after PEI<\/p>\n

Somehow we took a wrong turn after crossing the bridge from PEI and went in the wrong direct in high gusting winds and fog. Will someone explain to me how you can have pea soup thick fog and high wind? Shouldn’t the wind dissipate the fog? And this was gusting wind that was throwing me all over the road and about knocked me over when stopped. And all of this was going on after dark. I could barely see in front of me and was worried about being rear-ended by a truck from behind. This was not a fun ride.<\/p>\n

We got far enough from the coast that the fog finally cleared, but there was no where to stop for the night. We arrived in Pugwash at 10:00 PM and Jean-Francois stopped at a gas station to ask about a place to stay. The man at the gas station made a phone call. A short time later a man drove up to lead us to his bed and breakfast. After we had unpacked the motorcycles he showed up with dessert and tea. At 11:00 PM at night. A full breakfast was included the next morning.<\/p>\n

So the night ended very well.<\/p>\n

They were very nice people, originally from Ireland, and I would recommend them if you’re in the area.<\/p>\n

8\/4 – Before leaving Sheila’s we called the ferry for Newfoundland and booked tickets from Sydney to Port aux Basques. We couldn’t get on until an 8:00 PM sailing on Thursday (this was on Tuesday) so we had time to fill before then.<\/p>\n

We had seen signs for a pewter shop called Basic Spirit and shopped there before leaving Pugwash. Not too far down highway 6 was Jost’s winery so we stopped there too. JF wanted to go to Grohmann’s Knife in Pictou.<\/p>\n

We decided to do the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia since it wasn’t far from Sydney where we’d get the ferry. Before the end of the day we crossed into Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
