Day 6 - Traveling to Prince Edward Island

We were both up by 7am, and out the door before 8.  We had a 2.5 hour drive to the ferry and had to be there by 11am.  Fortunately we got there well ahead of time, and had the chance to use the bathrooms and explore the gift shop.  We boarded the ferry, and being hungry, I immediately got on line for food (which actually looked pretty good), although I only got a hot dog and fries.  The ferry took a little over an hour and then we were in PEI!

This was the view down the street from our rental in Cape Breton Isle

It was too cold for me so I came inside.  Dave loved watching!

When we finally got to PEI, we headed toward the Cow's Creamery.  On the way, we passed mostly farmland, but as we got closer, the area was quite developed with houses, apartment buildings, and all kinds of stores, including big box stores like Home Depot.  Cow's Creamery has a free tour of how they make ice cream and cheeses and their tee shirts.  But, it being a Saturday, all the manufacturing is closed down, so nothing much to see.  Luckily, they were still selling ice cream, so we got some.  Mine was called Mooey Gooey and was delicious!  We wandered around in and out of some shops, and then headed to our rental house.

Finally we arrived at our rental house.  It was the last house on a quiet residential street, and behind it is a park and a large body of water.  The house itself is really nice!  

When I went out to the deck, we noticed a small Hindu wedding about to take place just outside!

Next we decided to take a walk down to the water.  I chatted with a nice lady there with her grandsons while David walked along the beach.  We were wondering if the beach will disappear with the tide....

Finally we went to dinner at a terrific restaurant called Slaymaker and Nichols.  We shared three appetizers - a salad, a shrimp dish and PEI mussels.  We were so hungry and the food was so good, I didn't think to take a picture till we were nearly done with the mussels!
