(A) We bid a fond adieu to Prince Edward Island today… but not before another lovely breakfast at Baba’s Kitchen! We also went to The Cows Creamery factory, home of some award-winning cheese and ice cream.
Then we toured the Beaconsfield House, which was designed and lived in (until he went bankrupt) by a ship builder in 1877. Those three windows up on top of the house are part of the “Belvedere”, from which a cat can cop a fantastic view of Charlottetown Harbor. After that, we stopped by St. Dunstan’s Basilica. We didn’t go in, but if it’s as lovely on the inside as it is on the outside, it’s beautiful!
Next we headed toward Nova Scotia. Now, if you want to leave Prince Edward Island, you’ve got two options. One is to drive across an eight-mile bridge that is the longest bridge over water that freezes. The bridge is called the Confederation Bridge, and these facts I just laid down are either facts I read somewhere or facts I made up. Either way, pretty impressive!
Impressive though it may be, we didn’t opt for the bridge. Instead, we took a ferry.
Once we were on land again, we drove to our hotel in Halifax. It’s right on the harbor, and appears to be near lots of cool places. We’ll check those out tomorrow.
