#19 Bishops Rest- #20 St. Peter’s. Today was another very hot day, all Confederation Trail walking. We had heard this was one of the more scenic sections of the trail so that was encouraging, but what really made the day was the Jean McCardle joined us for the entire day.
We met Jean our first two days of the walk she was our B&B hostess and we have been keeping in touch since we left Ebb Tide. She is training to walk Hadrian’s wall and wanted to get a few more kms in before she leaves next week and she asked if she could join us. She has an incredible knowledge about all things PEI and it was so enjoyable that she joined us for the day and relayed many incredible stories about the history of PEI.
We were very sad to leave our B&B Bishops Rest and highly recommend it to anyone doing the Island Walk.
In this section of the Confederation Trail blueberry farms dot the landscape and many of the farmers use honey bees to pollinate their crops. They can transport the hives from one location to another on trailers throughout their fields. It seems very efficient.
Continuing through this section of the Confederation Trail the views did not disappoint.
And after 24.5kms we reached our destination.
Points East Costal Inn, another B&B winner for sure. We have really stayed in probably some of the best B&B’s and we do have Bill Kendrick to thank for that, as I used his Go for a Walk service to assist us with our planning. He made some really great choices .Once again Points East Coastal Inn also had a menu where we could pick some delightful dinner choices.
The homemade pizza was one of their selections. And for dessert I had a piece of Home-made Strawberry Rhubarb pie that was really the best pie I have ever tasted.
Tomorrow’s section of the Confederation Trail also has no food stops along the way, so they also offer a lunch take out selection. Everything on the menu including the bread and foccacia is home-made, and they know it can be a long hot day so no mayo, or things in your lunch that might possibly spoil.
***My pro tip for you today *** once again we knew it was a long 25km day. Halfway through we were able to stop at the Co-op to get lunch and drinks but we still did not pack enough water. It was very hot and again on the Confederation Trail does not have a lot of shade. So even though you think you have packed enough water, take an extra bottle. Especially if you know it is going to be sunny 🌞
Well I think that is enough for today. See you all tomorrow. Please feel free to leave us any comments or questions we are loving hearing from everyone.
