What a day!
We left New Brunswick this morning about 10 AM headed to Wood Islands, part of Prince Edward Island. It is only 200 miles, but it took almost 8 hours. The first 2/3 of it wasn't too bad - highway driving 4 lanes 70 mph. Then it all fell apart our directions told us to go on a certain route which we so obediently did. The road was 2 lanes and I mean a very narrow road, not for a 42 ft motorhome towing a car. The road was paved and I use that term loosely. We had to follow it for 28 miles because there was nothing on it so no place to turn around. It brought us back onto the highway we had gotten off of. Then we had to go another 60 miles. The directions were a little fuzzy, and the roads were awful.
We had to go over the Confederation Bridge that is 13.7 km; it was not pleasant for one of us who doesn't like bridges.
We finally made it and it was worth it; once again we are parked with water right in front of us. We are facing the Northumberland Strait. And if we look out to the right we can see a lighthouse, not sure which one it is yet. The lesson for today is the Canadians are so ecologically conscious they ought to use some of their ecology budget and FIX THEIR ROADS! Along our journey today we passed the town of Shediac, it is the lobster capital of the world. Tomorrow we will venture out and drive along the coast. In the car. Once we stop shaking we are going to just spend a quiet night.
