Some Pix of Our Trip


We have just returned from out trip to PEI with the Grypers. I took about 400 pictures, not all worth keeping, but I'll plough through them later. In the meantime, I thought I'd "shoe" you a few pictures of our trip.

As we were leaving our area, the truck started giving ius trouble. At 6:30 in the morning the very first day we didn't think we'd make it up some of the hills to get to town. We got to the local garage, and they found that in the three weeks since we'd had the truck serviced and made ready for the vacation, mice had built a nest in the air filter. It was completely packed in with leaves, and our brand new air filter was completely deformed from trying to suck air.

Cleaned out and a new filter installed we were on our way. After a long drive, we arrived in the campgrounds outside Quebec City and put our feet up, had supper and relaxed for the evening.


The next morning we waited for the shuttle to Quebec City that was to take us from the campground right into the city.

We boarded the shuttle and met our guide Jean-Pierre, who was a terrific tour guide.


He took us to lots of interesting areas of Quebec City, explaining their historical significance.




We left and headed for the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. This is the bay at low tide.

From there we crossed the Confederation Bridge onto Price Edward Island. The bridge ends near the city of Summerside. This is the wharf.


Here is a picture of the beautiful scenery at the national park along the north side of the island.


The beaches are rally beautiful!


It was a bit rainy and windy a couple of days which made the sea really rough.





PEI is pretty, very clean, and a really lovely place to visit. We spent some time cycling on the old railway trails which are reserved for hiking and cycling (not motorized vehicles). That was a lot of fun. All in all an amazing trip.

I can see you believe in the old adage "Take nothing but pictures, leave only footprints (or in your case sandals!)" I love the east coast!

Love the sandals... especially on the bus.
