PEI was a very long drive from Moncton NB but
the weather was lovely. You don't pay to get on the island, but you have
to pay to get off. Notice the price. The farms are lovely, mostly
potatoes. We had lunch and found a cute little beach at
Victoria By the Sea. Supposedly the warmest water north of Virginia. I
thought the water temperature wonderful and Callie loved the shallows.
After visiting Charlottetown, the capital, and shopping, we returned to
Victoria By the Sea and found the water level at low tide.
Victoria By the Sea
The
Confederation Bridge, which joins Borden-Carleton, Prince Edward
Island, and Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick, is the longest bridge over
ice-covered waters in the world at 12.9 kilometres. Opened on May 31,
1997, this historic bridge brought a new age to transportation to
Atlantic Canada, with two lanes of traffic, moving 80 kilometres per
hour, 24 hours a day. A trip across the bridge, which is for vehicles
only, takes less than 10 minutes. Somehow it took us longer than 10
minutes in our car, but beautiful scenery.
