The story began with a 5-week journey in a 1997 RV, from Richmond, Va to Utah and back, July 23 through August 27, 2011. The next step included the sale of that RV and the purchase of a larger, classier RV we call Princess. Now we have changed RVs again. We sold the Princess to a family of 5, and purchased a 2017 Class C, smaller than the Princess but some better features as well as some limitations storage wise. And so our adventures continue.

Central PEI
Charlottetown is the largest city on the island. We drove around the outskirts of the city, but chose not to venture downtown, preferring to visit the coastal areas. Most of the inland areas are covered with farmland, crops as well as cows and sheep. The coastal landscape is varied, some cliffs and some dunes sloped down to beaches covered in red sand. There are white sand beaches along the far coast but we never got to those...too much driving to do. We saw a flock of cormorants on some cliffs at Cavendish National Park and eagles flying in the area tormenting the cormorants. We visited some coastal fishing villages and a more touristy town with restaurants and gift shops. We finally had proper donairs (delicious!), and stopped at a good bakery for pastries. At the end of the day, we can look back on our visit to PEI and say that we got a good feel for life on this island and it's time to move on. Tomorrow we will drive to Shediac on the coast of New Brunswick for one night, then on to our last Canadian stop, Campobello Island.
