PEI Road Trip - Part II

We made a run up to the North Shore of PEI for a day out and about, though sticking further to the eastern end of the island than the main North Shore tourist area around Cavendish, Green Gables and the national park. After Labour Day, things are also quieter and the weather much more to our liking. Sure, it was windy, but it was beautiful.

We had actually planned to try to do a boat tour or fishing charter, but the fringes of Hurricane Larry kept things too gusty for tour boats to venture out - likely for the best for us landlubbers anyway.

We spent some time at Kay's family property, and with permission collected a rock for our home landscaping collection of rocks from all the provinces. From there, we made a stop in Naufrage and then on to North Lake, where we had a sit-down breakfast (for lunch) for the first time in nearly two years, at The Boathouse Eatery.

We stopped at the East Point lighthouse, picked up some art, and even enjoyed some ice cream (me) and sorbet (Jane). On the way back to our hosts, we also ventured through Souris and stopped to enjoy some more beach time and fresh maritime air.

All in all, a wonderful day away!

Surf's definitely up!
