Today was a driving day. We drove across New Brunswick to cross the bridge to PEI.
I liked the countryside of New Brunswick. Nice little farms and towns with tall spires among the hills. The highway was the best yet.
Confederation Bridge was no biggie. Ten minutes or so to cross. It has solid walls on either side and you can never really see the extent of it. You are essentially never aware of what you're doing. It is quite lovely to see PEI from a distance though.
PEI is my favourite place in all of Canada. So pretty. So small, simple and unpretentious. Homes so quaint and neatly kept. We stayed at a lovely B&B/inn-type thing in Charlottetown. A real treat after university dorms. The harbourfront was just minutes away with parking aplenty. We strolled around down there and found a restaurant with patio seating. Ian was the first of us to have a lobster.
After dinner, we sample PEI's famous "Cows" ice cream. Very nice. The ocean was three blocks from our place, so I took a stroll along the boardwalk there and we spent the rest of the evening enjoying ambiance of our B&B, sipping tea in the lovely sunroom, etc.
