The last of PEI



Recapping the last few days it was rain and more rain. They came close to breaking a record of over 200 MM in some places. Don’t know how many inches but I do know it’s a lot. Understand some bridges are washed out in New Brunswick. Despite the rain we managed a road trip to the North Cape at the north end of the Island which we found very windy and perfect for the Experimental Wind Generating Farm. Toured the Museum and took pictures of the North Cape Light House. You can see PEI’s main industry is farming and fishing. Lots of farm land. I think Lindsey is tired of looking at farm land. On the way back to Cavendish we forced ourselves to another lobster dinner and St. Anne’s Church. The second was as good as the first. The next day we bummed around the shops in town again. Yesterday we left Cavendish and headed to Georgetown. Not a long drive, just a mere 62 miles but yes instead of taking just over an hour it took us almost 3. Yup, a wrong turn just after Charlottetown. We called several days earlier to make reservations at Brunelle River Provincial Park but they had no openings so we found a Good Sam Park called Seal Cove. We near the water and it is decent. We then head for Georgetown to check out the Kings Playhouse and found the last performance was last weekend. We then went down to the waterfront to check on fishing. It’s very limited as far as fishing, a 5 hour trip which included clamming on an island, a little fishing for mackerel and a show of how they catch crabs and lobster. Not appealing for us as it included wading in the water for clams in mid 50 degree weather. So we passed. Today, Wed. the 6th we did a day trip to the East Point Light House. It was a beautiful scenic drive along the water. It was a much better trip with some sun once in awhile. We stopped in Montague for lunch for a lobster sub at Subway. Tomorrow it’s ferry time to Nova Scotia and we will be staying near Baddeck for the Cabot Trail drive. So till next time,
Take care, Dick, Brigitte and Lindsey……….
This was at East Point
If I remember
