Woke up at 2AM- Irene was calling. Gale winds were blowing the trees, but we were in a sheltered area, and watched the trees bend as we played scrabble. We lowered the top and hit Tim's for breakfast - didn't want to deal with PEI red mud on anything. Drove to Charlottetown, where the winds were high, but the sun was out. Toured the Confederation buildings, Governor's house and St. Duncan's cathedral before walking down to the boardwalk and wharf. Lots of nice boats in the harbor, staying out of the wind. Checked if the ferries were running and headed off to Wood Island's ferry- got there just in time to catch the 14:45 ferry without rushing, but we didn't wait either.
75 minutes later, we pulled into Nova Scotia at Caribou, which is a stone's throw from Pictou. Toured the good ship Hector, walked the boardwalk and headed for a campsite. Decided to grocery shop after dinner.
Since we have a full day, tomorrow we we headed to Fort Louisburg, easterly side of Cape Breton Island. Winds have calmed, and it is a beautiful starry night.
I love the picture of the van from yesterday - she looks just like she did back when we saw her in the Safeway Parking Lot.
ReplyDeleteThe girls have been talking about our camping trip when Elsa saw "Bambi." She swears we camped in a yellow school bus. Ainsley keeps telling her "no - it was the sunshine van" but Elsa is staying strong in her opinion.
