The scenery was impressive and the new Parkway is a great addition to the area. We cycled it on our e bikes, swooping up and down the hilly road. There’s a trail alongside it that can be walked or cycled but if you want to cycle it, you need strong legs, a mountain type bike and good shocks because its not a rough uneven path in many places.
We stayed one night at the little inn, Bay Baie, in St. Martin’s. It is newly renovated. Adequate but not all that appealing. Clean, the very minimum of furniture and soft furnishings, and the free breakfast was rather odd. In a very small lounge upstairs. No regular tables and chairs. Perch on the sofa with a plate on your lap. The croissants were frozen, ice cold, and when we tried to use more than one appliance at the same time, a fuse would trip and the poor manager would have to come upstairs and reset it. You can wait and pay for a chic brunch in the restaurant downstairs but that is not convenient if you want to make an early start to explore the area or on the next leg of your trip.
