A Great Cycle Ride and Ferry To Block Island for the New England Shore Trekkers



Right now we are sitting by the fire roasting s'mores--the best way to end a long bike ride! Our biking adventure today started with a knock on the hotel bedroom door at 6:45 in the morning. At first we were not too excited about the early wake up,  but when the smell of the fresh waffles and muffins came through the door from the continental breakfast, everyone was very eager to get up. After the yummy breakfast we headed out on a long journey of 38 miles (61.2 km--it's a Canadian thing). In the afternoon we arrived at the ferry dock to head to Block Island. All of us were ready for a nap, but we knew we still had a short journey ahead. We got onto the ferry and embarked on a turbulent journey. As the waves hurtled towards the boat the large ferry bumped up and down through the churning water. We rode our bikes from the ferry boat to the campsite and started to make our homemade sloppy joe dinner. Now we are sharing funny stories and bonding together by the fire. All of us are really excited to adventure Block Island tomorrow and enjoy the rest of the trip. We all send our love the our families back at home. :)
