Another great ride today, although we didn’t have the off-road cycle path we did have wide shoulders for most of the day. It was a very misty start to the day, which made cycling along the river very pretty.

Ralf is getting used to using his old camera again and not doing a bad job, but I think he misses all the extra features that his camera has to offer. This tower was a windmill and the Village had some lovely stone buildings.

This blue church dates from 1845, the first Methodist church on this site burnt in 1840.

Although we had scrambled eggs and toast at our warm showers host, we stopped at 10:30 for a second breakfast which kept us going all the way to Cornwall.  This mural was on the side of the Canadian Legion, really well done.

After we left the café the sun was out and it was getting quite warm. Today is the first of September, can you believe the leaves are changing colour.

We opted to follow the Waterfront Trail along the Causeway and could have camped along the St. Lawrence. However, it was 30 degrees and humid.

The ride along the causeway was very pretty and we stopped in at the Lost Village Museum. To create the St. Lawrence Seaway they flooded several villages and moved the villagers to other locations.

We were told that there were motels along the road going into Cornwall which were reasonably priced and clean. We picked a cheap motel but it was not so clean. You win some and lose some.

As we came into Cornwall we noticed a sign that indicated “Bait Cars” were in use. There is a high rate of vehicle theft in this area. Ralf was warned to keep an eye out for our belongings while in Cornwall. We generally do, and our bikes are always in the motel room with us.
