Day 9 we woke up to the realization that this would be our final day of hiking. I think this may have been our best weather day, as it wasn’t too hot but the sun was shining and there was a nice breeze. This was all appreciated since our hike would not be shaded by …
Day 10 we packed our bags for the last time and walked across the street from our hotel to the Oakville GO station to catch the train home. We reflected on the trip and realized a few things: We won’t soon forget this trip (creating this blog will ensure that!) and we know already that …
Day 20 started early as we packed our bags for the last time. We weren’t ready to leave or to end our amazing adventure, but we wanted to make our last day a memorable one and we wanted to make sure we got in a walk, so we made the decision to walk to the …
Another big Old Home Week event is the Gold Cup and Saucer horse race that takes place every year at Charlottetown Driving Park. There are races all day long in addition to the “main event” race, and we decided we would check some out in the afternoon. But before racing, we eat, and today’s lunch …

On Day 15 we were in Georgetown for a second day and took the opportunity to walk around the picturesque little town. There were beautiful public gardens, and historic buildings like the post office, court house, and the King’s Playhouse. The location on the waterfront provides lots of opportunities for wildlife-watching and we spotted a …
Getting from Annandale to Georgetown would require us to walk to Dundas to catch a bus to Cardigan, where we would then continue walking to our destination in Georgetown. The bus to Cardigan picks up in Dundas at a gas station at 10am, so it was again an early start. As we passed our host …
On our second day at the lighthouse we were planning to take it easy and decided to take a walk around Annandale. It’s a scenic area with a marina and fishing shacks (real ones that look a lot like our cabin at Shanty Stay in Souris!) Here are some photos from our day!
