Day 34 (7/25/09) - Pictou, NS to Harrington, PEI

It seemed like it rained all night last night; didn't have much trouble finding our way out of the campground - there were arrows showing the way. The site only cost $24.50 and we were on our way at 8:30 (65° and light drizzle).

Arrived at the ferry terminal at 8:45 - 15 minutes after the first one left. We were the first in line in the parking lot, so we had some time to wait before the 10:30 ferry. Steve had breakfast in the terminal building - bacon and eggs - not as good as the Clucking Hen, but for $5.50, including coffee, it wasn't bad. The 10:30 ferry arrived before 10am and by 10:15 we were parked onboard. The ride across took only 75 minutes, and was quite smooth.

After a quick stop at the information center in PEI, we were on our way to Pine Hills Campground, just North of Charlottetown. We set up camp and met our neighbors, Ken and Sheila, from Houston, TX. They have a dog (Blue Heeler) named Bungles who really needs some sheep to gather. To fill the void, he has a soccer ball he "herds" with a passion.

Distance: 83.6 km
Time: 1.5 hours
KPG: 38.8
Campground: $30.60/day (we're staying 5 days)
