Last day in PEI

So last night I was trying to put up the last photos with my blog post but gave up at 1am as the internet was so slow. So here are a few photos continuing on from yesterday.

I found another lighthouse yesterday, completely by accident. This one is abandoned so I snooped around a bit and had a little look in the window to see what the accommodations were like for the keeper. Pretty basic but what an amazing view to wake up to every morning! Walked along the beach for a bit and admired the red sand.





I also treated myself to staying in a B&B called Kindred Spirits. It was lovely to have soak in the jacuzzi tub and get all cosy on the bed in my robe, while drinking some raspberry cordial. And what a scrummy breakfast this morning. I loaded up so as I wouldn't need to really eat lunch (traveling on a budget).

Very nutritious Raspberry Cordial

I slept in the Gatehouse
Today was a bit of a non-event for my last day. It drizzled most of the day and as I didn't really want to travel with wet shoes, I spent most of the day in the car. Saw some lovely countryside, some quaint villages and just enjoyed the scenery whizzing by. I also went into a lot of craft type shops in the towns just for a stretch of the legs. I got back to the University and checked in again, and thought I would walk around and see what the place looks like. It's very small so that didn't take long. I drove into the hear of Charlottetown and had a wander around the shops and looked at touristy type things. There were some buskers playing jazz so listened to them for a while. And after a picnic dinner in the car (the drizzle had returned) I went and picked up my ticket for Anne of Green Gables: The Musical. Was a whole lot of fun and they kept pretty close to the story. The actor who played Anne was amazing. Great cast, great orchestra and sat next to a lovely mother and her 10 year old daughter, so great company too.

Off to Berlin tomorrow (via Montreal and Zurich).
