Sunday June 15th - Father's Day

Hi - today was one hot and hilly one. Walked 21.42km (36,585 steps)

Started with breakfast at the hotel followed by transportation to my starting point #15 Kensington. My luggage was then transferred to my next stop in Cavendish. I transported myself by foot

It was hotter that I thought it would be, very thankful for my brimmed hat event though it is slightly too big. Almost lost it a couple of times when larger vehicles went by or there was a gust of wind.

Today's walk was all road and near the end it was became very busy with traffic. There was some nice scenery along the way. Had a break at this abandoned picnic table in the shade


  

  The walk included several serious hills that needed to be walked up, the bench located on one of them was a welcome sight.

    

Saw a fox ever so quickly, it ran across the road, but it was too far and too quick for me to capture it with my camera.
Lunch was in New London at the Sou West Restaurant. Had a bowl of clam chowder and lots and lots of water.

Got to designated spot and called the transportation company to come and get me to take me to my accommodation - won't lie, I was so happy to see him.
Staying at the Kindred Spirit. 
 

First thing I did was treat my feet to a soak in a cool tub of water. If they could have talked, they would have thanked me.
After cleaning up and a rest I walked a little more to dinner.

Dinner was at the Lost Anchor here in Cavendish. I had my first lobster dish, lobster mac n cheese with the most delicious Margarita.
 


 Well, that was my day, it's off to bed. Fingers crossed for a good night sleep

   June 14th Charlottetown Arrived here safe and sound and checked into the Great George Hotel. This is a great location and hotel. It is a cluster of restored heritage buildings situated in Charlottetown's National Historic District and they have a pretty good complimentary breakfast too.     After checking in, went a wandering and stopped for lunch and had that most delicious bowl of chowder.   As I didn't sleep much on the plane, it was back to the hotel for a nap. Nap ended up being a little longer than planned.  Went to the hotel social hour and met some folks from Kelowna and Toronto and then off to dinner. Dinner was at Claddagh, and it didn't disappoint me. Sat at the bar where Jonah took care of me.     **Reader alert - there will be a lot of postings and pictures of food đŸ˜‹ June 14th Charlottetown After breakfast, I went walking down to the waterfront and checked out the shops along the way for future reference. Stopped for lunch at...

This day started off again with a great breakfast. The hosts at the Rustico Golf and Country Club treated me like a celebrity. Got to meet their little girl, and they sent me off with some banana bread and a chicken wrap for my lunch. Last night I made the decision that I would take advantage of the transport service and travel with my luggage to my next accommodation, Shaw's Inn and Cottages. This would cut the first 8kms off my walk that were going to be an all-road walk. I did alot of that yesterday afternoon and I didn't want to repeat that.   So happy with that decision. I started my walk at Brackley Beach and walked the Gulf Shore Parkway. It reminded me of the Lochside Trail. It runs parallel to the highway, and pretty close to the shoreline     It was a windy day, slight over cast, but warm. It was a no hat day. This section had lots of beaches, dunes, harbours, lakes etc to check out and with the extra time I had I spent time taking advantage of lookouts and benc...
