September 22 - Nova Scotia - Peggy's Cove
We left PEI this morning, I felt quite sad as I did really like it here. We left the campground at about 8:15, we had planned on leaving by 7:00, slept in though. We wanted to make the 9:30 Ferry and we were sure we would miss it. Even though it is a small Island it still takes a while to get from one place to the next.
We think that PEI is the Garage Sale Capital of the World - at least on Saturday mornings. Everywhere we went there were tables in front of houses, businesses, in garages, in driveways, on front lawns, some had canopies over them and some did not, it was drizzling slightly, had rained heavily overnight and there was some side effects left over. The cars were lined up on both sides of the highway everywhere you turned, making driving even mores slow. I have never seen so many people out garage saleing (I think I just made up a new word) ever in my life. I took pictures but they are somewhere with Dalton eating lobster.
We did manage to get the 9:30 sailing, it was on a small Ferry, nothing like the BC Ferries, it cost us $107.00. You only pay to get off the Island, you don't pay to get on. We were told you should take the Ferry over and the Confederation Bridge back because then it would only have cost us $60.00 being 52'. Oh well, next time.
We arrived on a very Foggy day, warm though. Shortly after leaving the Ferry we turned 5000 miles since leaving home.
POI
Gas prices in PEI - 133.5 Nova Scotia 135.9 - they just went down 9 cents
PEI well groomed Nova Scotia not so much, more fall colors though
We pulled into the Wayside Campground at Peggy's Cove, parked next to a couple from Victoria who is parked next to a couple from Qualicum. Across the road from us is a couple from Campbell River, Willow Point (where we live) and the couple beside them is from Courtenay. This is the first time we have even run into anyone from BC never mind neighbors. We spent the evening drinking beer with the neighbors (from Victoria).
