Beautiful sunny day and after exercising we left our Prince Edward Campground in Baddeck, Nova Scotia for Prince Edward Island.
We'll have to try one of these
We took the ferry (1 hr. 15 min) from Pictou, NS to Woods Hill, PE. This was our 8th ferry ride since arriving in Canada! Daisy is starting to like the water (it's everywhere after all - up here it's all about trees, water and mountains)!
Our welcome to the island
Drove thru farming community and have Daisy settled at Lane's Cottages and Suites in Montague. This place has just 5 spots for RV's, but had great reviews online for a gem of a campground off the beaten path and very clean. It's on the water with an ice cream shop in gazebo very close (too close) to us AND, a a bicycle/walking path just down the hill!
Mark's parents visited PEI several years ago and it has always been a favorite. And from what we've heard from other folks, it's just such a wonderful place...
COWS ice cream is the big thing, especially in Nova Scotia. When we were in Halifax at the Buskers Festival, there was a very long line waiting to get some COWS. We had not had any but heard it's on PEI, so....sure enough, the ferry had it and oh yes....very rich, creamy and delicious!!! More of that coming up in the next few days!
Our entertainment on the ferry
Google.....how did we manage before the internet came along. We are always googling something or other - all the logistics of planning this trip - where we're going, which route, scope out the campgrounds, get the reviews, etc., etc. And would never have known about Lane's if Mark hadn't read and researched and had this info right at his fingertips!
So many folks stay at bed and breakfast places around the country and when we were looking into a place for our one night in Labrador, the website that kept coming up and has listings for all over the world was www.pillowsandpancakes.com what a cute name!
Walked downtown this gorgeous Saturday night along the brick sidewalk - had dinner at Station Cafe (outdoors) which is old train station converted into restaurant on lower level and a nice gift shop upstairs. The walking/biking path is where train tracks used to be....
