Sunday,or "Wrong Way Caro"

Last night we saw two raccoon babies outside our BnB. They were cute and cuddly looking but we didn't touch them.

In the morning as we came downstairs to have breakfast the conversation among the guests was about the two little raccoon babies up on the floor above us. They would have been brought there by their mother and it was interesting that she (the mom) had probably brought them in the front door and up the stairs. The innkeeper had never seen them up there before. So cute!

We had an interesting conversation at breakfast with a Canadian living in Australia. Her niece and nephew are participating in the Amazing Race Canada right now (on TV). The race is over but all lips are sealed!

We caught the ferry to PEI and once on shore we turned right and started driving the shoreline roads. Beautiful country! We came to Montague at lunchtime and their waterfront was so inviting we stopped for lunch!

The waitress there was really enthusiastic on how much there was to do in Charlottetown so we headed that way instead of driving more of the coast. We got to Charlottetown in no time and were soon walking the streets looking at all the old houses and buildings. After walking almost all the historic downtown streets and seeing the waterfront we knew there was nothing more for us to do there so we headed up towards Cavendish (only spent 2 hours in the city!).

The title for today's post is because Caro got us going in the wrong direction on highway 2 and didn't realize it for quite a while!. After a good laugh about it we headed up secondary highways to our final destination, passing through marvelous little towns and "typical" pastoral PEI scenes. It turned out to be a wonderful screw-up!

Our motel was great and after checking in we went to the beach for a bit.

After that it was lobster supper at a hugely successful lobster place nearby at New Glasgow. It is "the" place to go and while pretty expensive the food was extremely tasty and lots of it. Caro had lobster and I had scallops. Desert was unlimited so I had 2 pieces of coconut creme pie. I should also add that the waiter  gave us a big bucket of mussels (i.e. like about 4 litres or more)  as appetizers (and these were unlimited for those who wanted more). About an hour later we were on our way back to Cavendish extremely full!

A great day.
