WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM

WHEN IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND….ONE SIMPLY MUST SAMPLE COWS ICE CREAM! AT PEAKS QUAY IN CHARLOTTETOWN.

Pretty Little Georgetown in PEI

Went to a charming small inn in Georgetown for breakfast….Georgetown is a pretty little village near Montague. They are working hard to attract newcomers ….some business entrepreneurs have moved in and in the evenings the place is packed due to the local playhouse that has nightly entertainment! If you were on my cycling tour in 2001 , you may remember biking to Georgetown…we watched a tug being built. The ship building is now closed and so is the sawmill but the village is doing just fine. We will bike there on my 2018 cycling tour!

Doing My Homework

While here in Prince Edward Island I am researching for the Island cycling adventure next summer….I have some great ideas to make it a fabulous Great Escape!

Lobster Lunch

Got to go to the Lobster Shack in Souris for lobster ……told they had the best lobster rolls! We were not disappointed….fabulous spot overlooking the beach! The sun was shining, the water was glistening and the lobster was delicious!

Great spot in Souris , PEI

Simple menu….fresh seafood

Great lobster

I think this shirt says it all!

Moonlight Cottage

Ahhh, Moonlight Cottage is just perfect for our stay in PEI. I am here with my childhood friend and we couldn’t be happier with the place!

My rental car….. never had such a ride but I do miss my 2006 Yaris Hatchback!

My Vacation on PEI….Summer 2017

My first holiday in years…..first glimpse of lovely PEI!

Oh what an island!

Red cliffs and stormy seas

Lunch at Trailside Cafe…I was here 16 years ago with my cycling club…hasn’t changed a bit and the food is still great!

My First and Probably Only Selfie

Had so much fun on the Pelee Cycling Adventure….August 2017! My first selfie with David, Ron and Marilyn at Point Pelee National Park.

Dinner at Oxley Winery

Our Pelee Cycling Adventure ended with dinner at Oxley Winery….a perfect evening to wrap up an amazing cycling tour!

We arrived in style in a yellow limo!

Perhaps the back side is the best? You decide

So pretty

The evening ends with a sigh

Stormy Day NO Problem

So we woke up on the Tuesday morning in Leamington….windy and over 70 % chance of rain…..uh oh, PLAN B. This was the day we were to ride in the Pelee National Park and WE DID! Rain held off…we walked to the most southern point of mainland Canada and watched the waves crash over the rocks and rode along the trail completely protected by the trees…..it was exhilarating!!!!
