Another short day - we could get used to these! We cycled onto the Confederation Trail. This trail is the abandoned railbed of PEI's railway. It is an easy cycle on a hard gravel surface. The advantage of an abandoned railbed is that there is no traffic and the grades (hills) are not steep - the disadvantage is that the sides are overgrown and block the views. However, it is a must for cycle tours of PEI. The photo shows one of the parts of the trail that has grass growing on the centre portion - most of it has no grass. 
Our destination today is "Moondock" which is the name of Debbie and Tom Moore's fabulous summer residence on the island. Tom designed it using the fishing houses on the Redhead docks(fishing wharf 3 km away) as the inspiration. Daphne (Laura's sister-in-law) was there for a visit as well.
What a great time! Leddy, Laura and I arrived at lunch time (Debbie & Daphne invited us!) and then Leddy and I went kayaking while Laura and Daphne had a long beach walk. Leddy is in front of the St. Peter's Harbour lighthouse (no lo
nger used).Gerry and Ashley arrived later. Dinner was marvelous, with a total of 12 people, including four of Debbie and Tom's friends.

I guess if you had any long days on PEI you'd cover the province in a day... :)
