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 …

After waking up early and packing our backpacks once again, we made our way to the Inn at Bay Fortune for our last Fireworks breakfast. After fuelling up we were then on the road to Annandale where we would be staying for two nights in a lighthouse! This was definitely one of the things we …
