Days 11 & 12: Prince Edward Island.
My mistake: our hosts have 7 children! (2 are from his first marriage)
It rained all day on Friday. We drove to the capital of PEI and joined crowds of bedraggled tourists off the cruise ship in the harbour, wandering round the basilica and small water-side area. The “city” has only 22,000 residents so has few shops in its downtown area. The residential areas have many attractive houses and we walked the board-walk round the harbour until the chill wind drove us into a cafe.
Saturday also started wet but it gradually cleared up, although still chilly. Our host, James, drew an itinerary round the central and western part of the island which included a Portuguese- owned vineyard, stops along the coast and a recommended restaurant in a converted station. We enjoyed it all.....apart from long winters this seems a very pleasant place to live.
