Day 8 | Murray Beach to Charlottetown | 87 km

Hungry mosquitos have a way of hastening my morning routine like nothing else. Today’s ride isn’t terribly long but getting across Confederation Bridge, when a bike shuttle is required, is best done early.

Cape Jourimain is only 16 km from the campground. We take a number and the shuttle arrives 30 minutes later. It’s a bit of a hassle to remove everything from the bike – bags, water bottles, pump, bike computer, etc. – and put it all back on when we get to the other side. At any rate, it’s looking like another beautiful day.

After 35 km of gorgeous countryside, we stop into a fabulous chocolate shop in Victoria. The dark chocolate covered peanut clusters are worth the trip!

We get into Charlottetown at 12:15 and find our way to the residence at Holland College. They won’t allow us to check in yet, so we put in a little time at Starbucks and check out a couple of bike shops.

I’m sharing a room with Eriko tonight, and when she mentions going to the Anne of Green Gables musical, I decide to tag along and soak up some PEI culture. I read the book years ago and the show is very well done.
