Day 10: 20.07.09
Another day another beautiful Canadian Province! The day actually dawned bright and sunny and was perhaps the hottest day we have yet had on our trip. We packed our van early this morning and headed off to sunny Island woods to board the ferry to take us to Nova Scotia. The drive across PEI was exceptionally scenic; green rolling hills and farmland proliferate. Arriving at the terminal, we purchased our ticket and waited to board. Of course, there was a gift shop. I thought it was time the family tried salt water taffy and so selected a variety of flavours for sampling. The ferry trip itself lasted around an hour and we were seduced by the on board poutine! Delicious! Upon arrival, in Nova Scotia, we disembarked and made the short trip to the small town of Pictou. After finding Harbour Light Campground and setting up the van, the boys checked out the pool as it was very hot. We then made our way downtown and investigated the harbour front. Noella, a colleague from school met us and took us on a tour of her home town. This was great as she was able to show us aspects of Pictou we would not have normally seen. We even saw a cute dear and her two babies as we cruised along a country laneway! We had (yet another) fish and chips at a great place called Murphy’s and washed these down with rather huge ice creams. Pictou is a very historic town with a distinct Scottish Heritage. We enjoyed exploring this part of Nova Scotia very much!
