Prince Edward Island
Harrington Campground 7/28-8/4

We arrived in PEI on a rainy Monday by the ferry it was a smooth crossing took about 75 min. For touring the island is broken up into 3 regions. Points East Coastal, North Cape Coastal, and Blue Heron Coastal (middle). We found a campground in the Blue Heron area very close to the National Park and Charlottetown pretty much in the middle of the island. We stayed a week and took the car out and toured the island. Even tho it pretty much rained the entire week we had some short sunny breaks. While on the island we were able to have “world famous lobster supper”, saw potato fields in full bloom, toured a vodka distillery that made vodka from potatoes, visited the world famous “bottle house”, ate Malpeque oysters, did a great bike ride and saw a lot of lighthouses. Still raining a week later when we left the island- we took the Confederation Bridge it took us 10 min to cross the 12 km bridge. We are now in New Brunswick going to do the Fundy Trail out of Canada and into Maine.

We really enjoyed our week on the island rain and all. For more pictures of PEI
