Sept 30.....We wake up to another dizzily overcast morning. We have breakfast and leave for another drive day but today we reach the farthest part of our trip, Prince Edward Island. We stopped at the visitors center, after crossing the miles long bridge that connects PEI with New Brunswick, to get info about different happenings and decide to go to the Canadian Potato Museum in the town of O'Leary. Now there is a method to my madness, the flyer advertises the best french fries on the island. Everywhere we drive we see potato fields and /or trucks hauling off the just harvested crop, PEI is a big producer of potatoes. We have actually come to late in the season for a lot of the along time to get anywhereattractions so the kitchen is closed at the Potato Museum, darn no fries! Our next stop is a quild and fabric shop as it advertises it has Anne of Green Gables material. Not what I expected but the quilts on sale, some as high as 2000.00,are so beautiful and the material for sale is endless. Maybe I'll have to take up quilting.
Prince Edward Island looks small on the map but once you get there it seems like it takes you forever to get anywhere. Most roads are only 2 lane and it takes 30 min to 1 hour to a major town or city. The landscape is beautiful with a lot of green pastures, farms with crops and large spaces between structures. We are staying at the Loyalist Inn a really nice accomodation right on the Straights of North Thumberland. We are on the third floor so our view from our room is wonderful. We have dinner at a restaurant called Two Brothers, We both had Lobster Rolls. Really, I'm not that impressed by it, I guess because it is cold and the only way I have had lobster is hot with drawn butter.
