The ferry back to PEI left at 7am, meaning we had to be up at 515am to be at the terminal by 6am for pre-boarding. This time, however, we took advantage of the ridiculously cheap (relative to the ferry itself) private cabins on board - complete with two beds (four if you fold the bunks down) and a washroom and shower. We spent most of the crossing in our room, catching up on some lost sleep after the early start and a rather windy night in the camping trailer.
Back in PEI, we returned to Rachel's Cabins for two more nights.....and received another $100 gift card! Our latest cabin was a little more modern and larger, resulting in another pleasant stay.
We squeezed in a few more outdoor visits with our friends, with thankfully great weather, explored the southeastern part of the island, and took on a few more hikes in the general area. The Confederation Trail was forged from the former rail lines across the Island, resulting in 400 km of nice level trails through all parts of PEI.
One such place was Harvey Moore Wildlife Sanctuary, where we not only walked to trail but had a great discussion with the current caretaker, the son of naturalist Harvey Moore.
After making the best of an unfortunate situation, we bid farewell to our friends and headed back to the bridge and the mainland. Speeding through New Brunswick, we saw both moose and deer at several spots along the Trans-Canada.
After a mostly beautiful but long travel day, we stopped for the night in St. Eulalie, Quebec, where we raced to to the Motel Marie-Dan to beat an incoming storm . Despite tornado warnings, we spent a relatively calm night as the same storm system wreaked havoc on parts of Ontario.
