PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND 2

   PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND NATIONAL PARK- This is the boardwalk on the Dunes trail a 4.5 km round trip trail.

And Yeah I made it! Good thing there were benches along the way. It was certainly worth the walk. Pictures

don’t do it justice. Just gorgeous!

PROVINCE HOUSE-In Charollettown, the birthplace of the confederation. Note the young people in front of the building they’re

rehearsing. Next week they will be in costume performing  reenactments. As most things in PEI the season starts July 1.

BRACKLEY-Fantastic art work in all forms. Beautiful building and grounds. A must see The Dunes Studio Gallery.

PRINCE EDWARD NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE-Green Gables the house that inspired Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel

Anne of Green Gables, now in its second century in print. And how about the Anne look-a-likes!

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND-This island has many beautiful areas. But in the Green Gables Shore area I particularly noticed the

contrast in the very green rolling hills and the red farm fields.  So pretty!

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND 1

CAPE BEAR LIGHTHOUSE-THE FIRST TO HEAR THE TITANIC’S DISTRESS SIGNAL

KINGS CASTLE PROVINCIAL PARK-Delightful, children running around everywhere through the woods

from one oversized storybook statue to another.

 

Rollo Bay-  Myraid View Distillery-in picture is the owner and distiller. Opened her business 3 years ago distilling moonshine. Has added vodka and rum.

We had free tastes, Wow a few are 57% proof.

Lunch time- just look at that Smoked Herring, doesn’t it just make your mouth water! LOL.
Yum fresh bread, cheese and pickles. Do we know how to live.

SINGING SANDS BEACH-ON THE POINTS EAST COASTAL DRIVE-People were sunbathing, swimming, playing

ball on the sandbar-summer has arrived to PEI. Look closely what do you notice in the pictures.

Yes you are correct. We have jackets on! It was 60 degrees!! What are they thinking????

 

CONFEDERATION TRAIL-When the Prince Edward Island railway was abandoned in 1989, Islanders were

quick to notice a unique opportunity. The idea of a tip to tip shared use walking and cycling trail was

born and the final link is now in place. There 400 km of excellent trails.

After a day of sightseeing and a two hour bike ride we settled into our tiny camper parked

next to the trail at the visitors center in St. Peters.

NOVA SCOTIA

LUPINE- WILDFLOWERS EVERYWHERE

 

In Pugwash we met a fun couple Rick and Josecelyn LaBlanc. Rick was telling us about the Big Daddy lobsters so he

brought us over to show it off. The can is there to give you a reference to size. We were so excited about buying

one we drove over the next day but DARN closed on Mondays! We looked everywhere for another place but to no avail.

NEW BRUNSWICK 3

   

First stop of the day. Fort Beausejour an earthen reinforced  fort strategically shaped like a star

overlooking the Bay of Fundy. It was built by the French in 1751, but fell to the  British in 1755

and renamed Fort Cumberland. This fort was later used as one of the deportation centers of

the Acadian people. It was abandoned in 1835 & declared a historical site in 1926.

 

 

 

MONUMENT LEFEBVRE---It was the first French-language higher education institution in Atlantic Canada.

This building is now a museum that spans the history of the Acadian people from  their first arriving to this area,

their deportation to their accomplishments of today. To begin we viewed a 40 minute video then were given

our own guided tour by a delightful young man named Justin(of Acadian descent).

 

Moncton was the next stop for a bike ride along the river so we could see the Tidal Bore a natural phenomenon

caused by the surging Bay of Fundy tides(the Highest in the World)

The Tidal-Bore activity occurs twice daily. We were given the time by in visitor center, we were there but

never saw a Tidal Bore! Oh well had a nice bike ride.

 

Followed this up with some shopping and a drive down the coast.

  

 

HOPEWELL ROCKS-ON THE BAY OF FUNDY NEW BRUNSWICK-The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the World. Forty Feet!

You can walk among these rock formations 3 hours before and 3 hours after low tide. Spectacular! We have about 50 more

pictures I’d love to post. We just couldn’t stop snapping.

ALMA-A small town right before you enter Fundy National Park. See the difference in the tide in just a few hours.

It was just remarkable seeing all the boats sitting on the rivers bottom.

FUNDY NATIONAL PARK NEW BRUNSWICK-Something for everyone. Beaches, pool, tennis, golf, hikes, camping, interpretive programs.

We did a few very short hikes. We  both did one to the falls and Jim one to the beach. Ended our day at the picnic area having our

dinner in the park across the river from Alma watching the tide come in.
