ROADTRIP

Thursday morning we left Murray Harbour and headed for the bridge. We stopped at the Gateway Village in Borden-Carleton and Dolly shopped.
Dolly of Green Gables

Approaching the middle of the 9 mile long Confederation Bridge that connects Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick
We took a side trip to Caissie Cape to visit Jim and Marcia. This is the view from their cottage

We finally made it to Tom and Jennifer's house in Dieppe.

Their house from the street

On the way to dinner we stopped to watch the tidal bore, on the Petitcodiac River in Moncton

Then dinner at St. James Gate
Next morning saying good-bye. Thanks Tom, Jennifer, Emily and Bridget for a great time

Then we headed for Nova Scotia and drove the Sunrise Trail to the Caribou/Wood Islands Ferry back to the Island. This is a church we passed in Amherst

A house I designed in Amherst Shore 10 years ago, and totally forgot about it!
Waiting for the boat at Caribou. We missed this one, the Holiday Island, and had to wait a couple of hours for the next one.
While waiting we explored the wharf

Finally on our way, on the MV Confederation. The trip across lasts 75 minutes


Approaching Wood Islands, PEI



We stopped at the Wood Islands Lighthouse after we got off the Confederation


On our way back to the cottage we drove down Munn Road in Hopefield. It was named after my great-grandfather Ira
At the house one last time before flying back to Lincoln the next day
I want to thank everybody who came to the island and helped out with the project. You don't know how much that meant to me. Thanks to Mom, Dad, Janice, James, Sarah, Lawrence, Betty, Loreen, Danny, David and Dolly.

Next step: CONSTRUCTION

Stay tuned
