Day 8:
August 15
Up
early to another beautiful sunrise. We got packed up and prepared for
the drive to the eastern end of the island (our tip to tip tour!).
It was
a beautiful day and an easy drive and we ended up at Red Point
Provincial Park near Souris. It's beautiful. In contrast to Jacques
Cartier, which was a very tired park, this one is pristine and the
staff was so welcoming. Though we could have had a site near the
water, it was very crowded, so we took their recommendation and are
in site 108, at the top of a hill overlooking the ocean:
We met
neighbours Carol and Peter who welcomed us and gave us some advice
about where to go, what to do, and where we can get Internet access.
They're very nice.
We
walked the beach, one striking in its relatively white sand in
contrast to the red sand of the days before. And there were loads of
people. We said we may go swimming this trip yet!
Back
at the site, neighbours pulled in, parked right in my view and then
their dog peed on my chair! Not a great start. But the woman
apologized profusely and offered to clean my chair AND moved the car.
So we chatted and all is well.
Some
iffy weather is predicted, but we plan to ride the bike tomorrow and
hopefully get in some beach weather for the next few days.
Here's
the view from my chair:
Sounds great, Lynda ! PEI is so lovely; I envy your being there!
ReplyDeleteHow's the bike? the trailer, etc???

Lynda - great pics. PEI is an awesome place, although it's been almost 10 years since we were there. Cape Breton Island is, to me, even better but different being almost "mountainous". You two seem to be having a great time, especially on the bike.
