After a hearty breakfast we took off to discover the eastern part of Prince Edward Island. The countryside is very pretty. As you travel over the hills you often come upon a lake surrounded by pine trees. There are picturesque harbors and a plethora of lighthouses. We drove about 200 miles today and have covered much of the eastern and central parts of the island. I'm afraid the western part will have to wait for another trip as we've only 2 days left. As we ventured along we'd make stops at the Provincial Parks along the way and stop to take pictures of the beautiful Delvay by the Sea Inn. We made it to "the end of the world" - East Point Lighthouse and had an ice cream at the cafe, visited the gift shop and went in the lighthouse. We continued to Soris where we had a late lunch of fish and chips at Lot 45. Got a little lost going through Charlottetown but Ron says we're never lost if we're just out for a ride. Charlottetown actually had some amazing old homes which we might have missed had we not ventured off course a bit. Stopped in Rustico to check out a few gift shops and a restaurant for future dining. Ron got a tweed cap. Came back to the trailer and had a tea and hot chocolate. We did a lot of driving so we didn't have our 10,000 steps so we walked around the campground and down the beach a ways. It was a spectacular sunset, if I had known we were going to the beach I would have taken my camera. Back to read and a snack of cheese, crackers, pepperoni and red wine.
BtW- The weather today was 62 for the high and it was in the 40's last night. I've had to layer some but I love it. Not a fan of hot weather so this is a pleasant relief. It has been great sleeping weather. I wish it were cooler when we get back home but the forecast doesn't look like it.
