Prince Edward Islands East side explorations

 

The ferry to PEI

First sight of the notable red sand.




What a sweet campsite we found on a bay.
We kayaked the next morning. It was glorious...until we had to come back against the tide and wind! lol




check out the cool triple oyster shell attached to a snail shell. It looks like a propeller.





I just love all the fishing ports with their shacks and boats and charm! Jerry is looking at tuna fins on the wall of the brown shack. Bluefin tuna is big here.



Found a beach that is 
like  the Cape! PEI is so different than Nova Scotia.( Except the fishing ports are similar)
an empty beach!!! lol


so many cool lighthouses!!


The farm fields have me mesmerized

They are so neatly furrowed its stunningly beautiful!!!




I think dandelions must be their national flower, lol. We have never seen so many.


 the farms are like one big patchwork quilt!! I feel like I'm driving through a painting.


more about oysters and steamers tomorrow

    Great pictures Laura. They call PEI the "Garden of the Gulf". Many of those recently plowed fields you see will be potatoes. When they blossom ( summer), the rows of flowers are mesmerizing.

Bay of Fundy

 The Bay of Fundy was as interesting as everyone says! Cape Enrage Classic Architecture The tide is so big the fishing boats literally get grounded and have to wait for the tide to fish. JUst crazy how these BIG boats sit stranded every tide They put the cage thing under the boats so they don't tip. It's lowered by a line and pulled into place each time they dock....so explained the kind fisherman below Getting the herring ready for the next tide  lunch at the caves St Martins Sea Caves- hard to see but these are huge caves you can walk in at low tide...unfortunately we missed that part but still interesting. On to next campsite. We camped at a campground right next to Hopewell Rocks. Made a great meal with our water view. hot miso butter oysters seafood pho now this is how to camp!!!  The next morning we hike about 2 miles over to Hopewell Rocks...beyond amazing!
