July 2nd: Yesterday we made our way from Truro after a delicious breakfast. It was an absolutely perfect day of riding, and we managed to get to Digby in plenty of time, despite taking scenic routes almost all of the way. We finally got beautiful weather for the first time since our first day on the road. The ferry this time was a bit of a disappointment after the one from PEI to NS. It was long, in the dark, not quite on time, didn't smell very good, and left late.
The good news is we saw baby dolphins porpoising in the water! On arrival in St. John at about half-past midnight, we made our way through some whiteout fog to our pre-booked motel.
This morning it was still very foggy, but our hopes that getting away from the ocean would get us into clear air turned out to be well-founded. We had an ambitious goal today - to get from St. John to Berlin, NH - which would have been almost 550 km. We didn't quite make it, but we're safe, sound, and drying out our stuff in a motel in Rumford, ME.
