Finally in Halifax

Sorry, its been a few days. I sit in a hostel in the city of Halifax at the moment. I can't upload any photos, so words and internet photos will do for this post. I left off in Liver pool, which was a great town to spend a few days. The next ride took me through a small town called Lahave, which is home to a bakery I had been hearing about since I landed on Nova Scotia. I ordered the Blueberry Cinimon Roll. I sat outside to enjoy my treat when about 5 cyclist pulled over. The were all local and gave me great advice for my upcoming rides. In the town of Lahave is a cable ferry that takes motorist across the river. The Ferry reminded me of a cable ferry my family used to take near this small california town of Princeton. The next town was Lunenberg, very touristy.

As beautiful as Lunenberg is, I don't enjoy crowds of tourist, so I moved on. I stopped that evening in Mohone Bay; I ask an Englishman directions to the next town, it was getting late and he invited me to sleep in his camp trailer he keeps next to his house. It was small, but it was far better then camping. The next day I was planning on riding all the way to Halifax. I rode about 25K to this town called Chester. I stopped at the market for fruit and drink, when a nice couple from Boulder Colorado stopped to talk to me. I was a sunny day and they invited me to go sailing for the day. I agreed, and we went out on the harbor for a few hours. Chester is very beautiful. Hardly any tourist and might be the most beautiful city I had seen so far.

They had a beautiful house, it had a very nautical theme which was very tasteful. I spent the night and then headed off the next morning to Halifax, where I am now.

I am exhausted from the ride, and might go off for a quick beer before I head out in the morning. Oh, I almost forgot, my Father is going to join me for the Newfoundland leg of my ride. He arrives this Sunday and I am thrilled...More to come!!!
