Prince Edward Island

Prince Edward Island, also called PEI. A ferry connects the island with Nova Scotia and a 13 km long bridge connects the island with New Brunswick.
We took the longest bridge in the world to get to PEI.


PEI has much agriculture and fishing, but tourism is big too. There are no moose, but otherwise still quite some wildlife, such as foxes at the side of the street.


Charlottetown is the capital of PEI, here the first talks took place to unite the provinces and form one country: CANADA
This is room the talks took place. It is kept in the original state.
After learning about the MiqMac (aboriginals), the Acadiens (French imigrants), we now know more about forming the country.
History of Canada: check.



Yes Gabor, we are still jogging :-)
In the Cavendish national park trails through the woods are ready for bikers, hikers and joggers.
We stayed on a campground in the national park. Lovely spot to camp.


We never heard of "Anne of Green Gables" before we came to PEI. A famous author wrote about Anne and her life on a farm in PEI. Matthew demonstrates what Anne looks like :-)

Whenever we can we visit art galeries and other museums / exhibitions of national interest.
This artwork is made of cornflakes and other breakfast cereals.


Important note: Scotsburn icecream is the hype in the Canadian Atlantic provinces. Should be exported to the world. Really great taste!
