Leaving Cape Breton Island today was hard and we definitely want to come back here some time and spend a couple of weeks on the island. However, we have done a lot of driving as each day’s activity was at least a 3 hour round trip to get to and we are looking forward to our next destination which will be less about sightseeing and more about beach walks, cycling and relaxing in our cottage.
So leaving Cape Breton and driving to Caribou, we caught the one hour ferry across to Prince Edward Island (PEI) and entered our 5th Canadian province. We have covered Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and now entering PEI, a 280km long island which is a province on its own. This area is different to everything else that we have seen and does not have as many of the trees and lakes as the other provinces. It is a large farming area and main exports include mussels and potatoes, so Liam should feel right at home here!
Our cottage has a lovely deck and gas braai and doubles as a petting zoo housing sheep, pigs, cows, a miniature horse, a pet raccoon and even a couple of lamas! The temperature has increased to a humid 28 degrees and we spent the afternoon relaxing, swimming and playing frisby. We are both sporting a serious suntan and good fitness levels
