P.E.I.

Sunday morning we headed off to the bridge to Prince Edward Island.  What a sight!  This bridge is over 13 km long.  It seemed to go on for ever.  It's a free trip on the eastbound side, then you pay when you come back to the mainland.  It was almost $50, but it was quite the trip.

Once on P.E.I. we decided on the furthest coast, heading off to see the Atlantic.  All that we had heard about the red soil was true.  It was incredible!  All I could think of was that silly song about  "Bud the Spud from the Bright Red Mud"


While we stopped at an outlook to check our GPS and see where to head next, local cyclists arrived and told us about an incredible lobster supper held in New Glasgow.  It couldn't get much fresher than on the east coast, so we thanked them and started out to find our dinner destination.

We found the location and got into the lineup.  They opened the doors at 4:30 and we started to file in.  You could choose just appetizers and desserts for $20 or add a lobster for $35.  Either way it was all you could eat clam chowder, mussels and desserts, but only one lobster. (as if you needed more, lol)




     


When we first arrived, there were about 20 people and within a half hour the place was sold out.  They were parking where ever they could find a spot, even on the lawns. The food was really good, but when they ask if you want lobster hot or cold, I suggest cold.  Much easier to eat and much tastier too.
