PEI BIKE TRIP - DAY TWO

Day Two - Charlottetown, PEI

Happy Birthday Tammy! Started out with a slow morning and quick bite to eat at the hotel breakfast buffet before we started on our walking adventure. We found a highly recommended coffee shop called Receiver Coffee, we all tried their latte and set off to explore the sights of Charlottetown. We found a walking route which took us through the downtown core, waterfront, and into Victoria Park which is home to many Historic Houses as well as the Prince Edward Battery at Fort Edward - this has significance to the provinces military history. It was built in 1805 during the Napoleonic War as a way to protect the island from invaders. This was our first glimpse at some red rock cliffs! While on our self guided walking tour we made it our mission to complete an Amazing Race Canada challenge, which was locating 9 different “Eckhart the Mouse” statues throughout the city from the booklet of provided clues. We did it!!!

We ended up stopping for lunch on the waterfront at Founders Food Hall before hitting Receiver Coffee for our second cuppa! After 17K steps we made it back to our hotel for their complimentary happy hour to unwind and enjoyed a few games: uno golf, yahtzee, and mystery date. Our hotel had tons of game choices and Tammy picked mystery date thinking it was history questions, it was a 1967 board game where you had women player pieces and collected cards which made an “appropriate outfit” for her to go on a date with a guy by open a surprise door and hoping his outfit matched yours. we had some good laughs!!! We finished the evening with a yummy italian birthday dinner at Vincinato Ristorante before crawling into bed to get ready for our big biking adventure!Read more
