WHAT A LONG DAY!
I have to try and keep this short and sweet because I am tired, again this morning I was wide awake before 5AM so I need to force myself to hit the sac as soon as possible tonight.
We started the day with what my guidebook promissed would be a scenic drive on the Acadian Peninsula. I don’t know, maybe I am jaded but it was not that scenic and driving for over an hour to gaze at a lighthouse for 3 minutes seems like a very inneficent use of my time!!!
After this, we had lunch and then headed to the impossible to pronounce Kouchibouguac National Park for a hike.
Lunch was alright, but I am sick of resto pubs!! I want something more authentic than generic resto pub fare that I can get at home. NO MORE FAMILY RESTOS WITH LAMINATED MENUS!!!!!!!!!! What I did like about lunch today however was that it was next to a river. Eating by the water is always a plus for me.
Our hike was nice of course, we love this type of activity, but compared to the last 3 days it ws my least favourite. I like nature trails more than packed gravel biking paths, plus the sun was too hot for me and I have a big bite on my arm that is bothering me… not because it’s itchy but because I am trying to determine if it looks bull’s-eye-y. I’m so delicious and allergic that it’s hard to tell the difference between my normal allergic swelling and what’s dangerous!!! According to the pictures I have seen on line, I am in no danger.
Once we decided we’d had enough of hiking (it was about 2½ hours), it was back on the road to P.E.I.
Crossing the Confederation Bridge was exciting but also a little scary because of the winds. We tried to take pictures approaching the bridge, and while on it, and again once off it, but it’s really hard to capture it!
For dinner, we followed the advice of the hotel receptionist, but this time we LOVED what he suggested as opposed to last night in Bathurst. Tonight, we had an authentic (and ever so slightly kitch) seafood meal in Charlottetown and loved it!
(That’s Frank’s lobster by the way, I had crab cakes)
Now it’s time to sleep – I hope I am not wide awake before 5AM again tomorrow morning!
