Day 23 Aug 5th



Weather looks pretty good today so we will stay in PEI another day. Off to Charlottetown to take a bus tour.



The bus we are on is an authentic London double decker bus. Around town to see the sites. Since this town was the site that the “fathers” got together to form the original Canada, it is full of history. Yep, a bunch of old buildings. The most fascinating buildings were the old churches and kirks.






After our tour, we headed for the NE coast. Farms all over the place up here. We learned that there are only 186,000 people in PEI and the pet name for PEI is “The Land of 1,000,000 Acres of Potatoes” or “Spudland”.





Anyhow, along our route we discovered Basin Head. White sand beaches meet the red iron oxide earth. Of course, Judy had to add to her rock collection. (More weight for the back of the truck.)






We finished our trek along the NE coast and headed back to camp. This province is beautiful. Just wish we had better weather. (It’s suppose to get warm and sunny tomorrow – but we’re headed out in the morning.
Later, folks
