Today marked the shortest day of the tour thus far, a big
whoopin’ 60km J
Essentially the ride involved getting across Manitoulin to reach the ferry
which would take us back to the mainland.
The ride was great because Louise and I took a super relaxed
approach and there wasn’t a headwind which made it even better.
We had to get to South Bay by 1pm as the ferry would be
leaving at 1:30pm. Louise and I reached the village at 11:30am. We stopped at a
restaurant where we met Elaine and Neil and I had fish and chips for lunch, yum
yum :)
After lunch we met up with Becky and got a treat at a coffee shop.
We boarded the ferry to take us across Lake Huron which
looked like an ocean, I couldn’t see the mainland. It took us and 1hr 45min to
get across, which was crazy; the Great Lakes are so massive! The ride was
enjoyable. It was great to sit back and relax and just look at the water.
When we reached the mainland I stayed with Gee and Larry as
Louise was going to meet up with her Aunt. The three of us explored the
Tobermory Marina which had a boardwalk and several shops; it was a cute little
place. After our exploration it took us only 7km to get to camp. It was a great
day because I got the opportunity to act like a tourist :) Tomorrow we would be back
to cycling 130km, but I had to get across the country somehow :)
