Taking it easy in Charlottetown

I have not had a rest day since Quebec City (8 days and about 1100km), so we are going to take a rest day here tomorrow and do a bit of sight seeing. It was kind of a short ride today, so we got in at a reasonably early time and saw a bit of Charlottetown today. It is not a huge city, only about 65,000 including the surrounding area. But there is a downtown area with restaurants and pubs that we explored a bit. We found PEI’s only prewpub and tried out some of their products – best beer we’ve had since leaving! I have to say that once we left BC it has been a bit of a wasteland as far as beer goes (not that we’ve been looking too hard though). Everybody has the same stuff on tap – “Canadian, Blue, Coors Lite, and Rickard’s Red.” I guess we’re spoilt by the microbrew industry in BC. Anyway, we sure enjoyed this place!
