Today I was heading into Charlottetown the
capital of P.E.I. for lunch with Kate and Nils. This gave an
opportunity to take some more photos...
And this is where I had an excellent pint of
beer and fish and chips along with some good conversation with Kate and
Nils. Certainly recommend this pub if you are coming to
Charlottetown.
And there are Kate and Nils standing outside
her office. I also took a few pictures of her work on the office walls :-)
And then it was out on my travels so took a
few more pictures of Charlottetown before heading out.
The Visitor information centre was very
helpful and there is plenty of information here no matter what you are
interested in and you can also pick up maps of the island and street maps
of the two cities of Charlottetown and Summerside.
I headed back to Stanhope where I attended
that historical meeting. They told me about the cairn they had built so I
was back to get a picture of it. The cairn is actually on the golf
course just up from the beach but of course with all that snow you
wouldn't know either was there :-)
Here you can see the boats and in the other
picture the club house
Great looking lighthouse on the beach above
Stanhope
And a couple of views from the lighthouse
across the snowy and frozen beaches and sea
The picture on the right is a wee story on the
side of the lighthouse. I've blown it up larger so you can hopefully read
it. I only spotted it at the last moment and then sank ankle deep in mud
as I tried to take the picture. It's thick red mud on the island :-)
Picture on right is the New Glasgow Fire Dept.
And I then headed into the local store to get
provisions!
And finally here is a rather good wee brochure
which tells you about P.E.I.
