We ferried over to Prince Edward Island this AM on the 8:00 AM ferry. Now this craft is huge; four levels, with space enough for 15 semi trailers on the first level. I chilled out in the RV while Mom and Dad lounged on the top deck. It was a beautiful morning for the short 14 mile cruise over to PEI.
Our first stop was some wine tasting at the Rossignol Winery just a few kilometers from the ferry landing. I made friends with a golden retriever but was terrified by this horse. Mom and Dad bought a red and white vintage. We then motored west and north to Orwell which featured an authentic 19th century village, complete with church, town meeting hall, one room school, country store, blacksmith shop and stables. I hung out again in the RV while Mom and Dad toured the village. (see photos of some of the sights.)
We then stopped in North Rustico on the north shore for lunch. Mom and Dad pigged out on a dozen oysters and a pot of mussels. The Keith lager beer was also a hit. We then stopped at a lobster pound to pick up a couple of lobsters for dinner. Is this the life or what!
The camp ground here in Darnley (one the far west coast of the island) is absolutely spectacular. It's called Twin Shores because we are between two beaches, one of which faces the Atlantic. Mom took me for a quick dip before dinner. Since we're here for three days, I plan many romps in the surf. Mom and Dad plan to play nine holes at a small course nearby; should be fun. We're planning other excusions before we leave for the USA on Thursday.
