Friday June 6

#20 St. Peter’s to #21 New Zealand

Well what can I say about today, I donated more blood than I have ever even given to the Red Cross.

🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟 🦟

It looked like we might start the day with a bit of rain, which would not have been a bad thing, but it never happened and it just kept getting warmer and warmer, and with the warmth, came all the mosquitoes. They really love me and although I used two different mosquito repellants I still managed to get probably over 100 bites. ****Pro tip**** I actually learned this from Kyle one of our B&B hosts. Just dab white vinegar on the bites and it takes away the itching, this works better than After Bite. I can confirm.😏

Now about this section of the walk and I am going to quote walkers Ruby and Laurie who are a couple days ahead of us “this is such a great section of the Confederation Trail, SAID NO ONE EVER” 🤣😂😅🤣

We did start out the walk at the St. Peter’s visitor centre which is right at the way point start. We met the lovely Judy who works there and she was very sociable, and loves the Island Walkers. We got a nice stamp for our passports, and we were on our way.

Again we were sad to leave our fabulous B&B the Points East Coastal Inn. What a great place to stay and the hosts Sarah and Roger were amazing, the food excellent, and the amount of work they have put into this B&B is incredible. The location right at the way point makes it an ideal place to stay, and if you are thinking about taking a break day I would definitely spend a day off here. Perfect location and beautiful scenery.

As for the walk it was all Confederation Trail, a couple of other highlites. We ran into these two very friendly Conservation offices a couple of times while they were patrolling this section of trail.

They were very friendly and well heck we did not have very much else to take pictures of today 🤣🤣

I do have one more ***pro tip for today and those who will be walking this after us *** There is a great spot on this section of trail when you reach Larkins Pond to have lunch, it is a bit breezy so the mosquitoes 🦟 did not bite while we were here, and Larkins Pond was lovely. This tip was passed down from Anita, who is a couple days ahead, to Ruby and Laurie, and then to me. So you know it is a good one. ☺️
