Day 116. August 18. Saturday. Rainy day car travel to next accommodation in Ingonish.

We woke up to very cloudy skies which started dttaveltg soon after and hasn’t stopped all day.  The forecast called for one to two inches of rain and I’m guessing we are going to get it with this non-stop rain.  Not hard downpours, just constant rain.

We knew this was in the forecast which is why we brought all the bikes over yesterday so we could haul all the gear and the riders today.  It was a very wise decision.

Since we had to be out of our rooms by 10 this morning and not able to get in our new rooms til mid afternoon, we lollygagged all morning, stopping at every crafty place along the way, taking a long lunch break, etc.  Just tried to kill time.  It was fun but very tiring, almost worse than riding all day.

This rain is supposed to continue well into tomorrow morning so we may start riding much later than I like to get started.

We are in a very nice bnb/inn tonight and wish we had spent three days here instead of that last place.  But you never know what you are getting when you book on line until you get there.  Such is life.

Four of us played cards again late this afternoon and had a great time.  Went to a recommended restaurant in the area for dinner and it was a little disappointing.  Oh, well.

Tomorrow is another day.
