We apologize for the lack of a blog post yesterday but we
arrived back at our B & B late because we went to see the musical Anne of
Green Gables. The musical was very well
done and we enjoyed it very much.
Thursday morning we left Prince Edward Island for home. Although different from Nova Scotia, PEI is
very beautiful and we enjoyed the rolling farmlands and scenic beaches with their
magnificent dunes. By the way, for you
trivia buffs, we forgot to mention that PEI with a population of 140,000 is
Canada’s most densely populated province. Remember that if you are ever on
Jeopardy. When we arrived on the island we came by
ferry from Nova Scotia. The ferry ride
to the island was free of charge.
However, the catch is that you need to pay a toll to leave PEI. Leaving the island we took the Confederation
Bridge to New Brunswick. The toll was
$44.25 (Canadian). The 9 mile Confederation
Bridge joins Borden-Carleton, PEI and Cape Jourimain, New Brunswick and is the
longest bridge over ice-covered waters in the world. The bridge is 34 ft. wide and carries 2 lanes
of traffic. The speed limit is 50 MPH
and takes approximately 10 minutes to cross.
Passing is not permitted.

We
arrived back in the states yesterday and spent the night in Portland, ME. We arrived home safely this afternoon completing our adventure of over 3,800 miles.
