Thursday June 19th Day 5 (last day)















 Mr Stewart to St Peter’s Bay 25.43km 43,675 steps took me almost 8 hours when you include lunch and rest stops.

Left Bishops B&B at 830 after another great breakfast.

Today’s walk was all confederation trail. The walk from Morell to St. Peter’s Bay was the best part, before that it was much of the same,

Really focused on what was around me and not on the path ahead  as there did not appear to be an end to it. Really glad I did as I saw and read about things that I may have missed.

I got a surprise visit from my Beth in the Orkney Islands via a Facebook call. That was fun while it lasted, but we lost our connection. Same thing happened to Susan and I. Since I wasn’t there for our Sunday morning walk, I brought her along on my walk for a bit on Sunday.

I saw these holes that were tunnelled in the path and found out they were made by chipmunks, every time I say the word chipmunks, I hear “Alvin!!”

Also saw some beaver handy work. And some really odd shaped trees. One of them looked like it could belong in the movie Lord of the Rings.

Went past a pond where there was the weirdest sound coming from it, did not sound like crickets or frogs.

It was an overcast day but it was warm and humid. Was so glad to get to Morell. Met the Mayor of Morell. Had lobster wontons for lunch. Morell was sort of the half way mark.

How to explain the joy when I saw the sign for St Peter’s Bay and better yet to see that my accommodations the Points East Coastal Inn was just across the street. Sarah greeted me, settled me and brought me the best jug of lemonade I have ever tasted. Asked if I would be staying in for dinner or going out, said I was staying as I was done walking for the day. So glad I did. There were 6 women who were cycling around PEI so had dinner companions. Had the salmon bowl which was great, but the highlight was the rhubarb and strawberry pie.

That’s it for now. Talk later

❤️ Debbie

My island walk

   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 😋 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...

 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 t...

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...
