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 …
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 …
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 …
On Day 10 we checked out of Shanty Stay and went for breakfast across the street at Evergreen Cafe. We had the Breakfast Pocket and Original Breakfast, along with coffee and smoothies.

We again took a Yellow Cab to the starting point for our Day 4 hike: Mount Stewart. We stopped at In the Mix bakery to pick up sandwiches to eat on the walk. While in the bakery a customer asked “are you doing the Island Walk?” When we answered yes, he said “I invented it” …
On Day 3 we checked out of the Barachois Inn and once again took a Yellow Cab to the starting point for our hike: Shirley’s Snack Bar in Brackley Beach. They are famous for their burgers but we tried the lemon chicken, dumplings, fried rice and an egg roll and everything was delicious. The place …
Day 2 of our trek started with breakfast at The Barachois Inn. We met two couples and discussed our plans for the day and discovered we would be having dinner at the same restaurant around the same time as one of the other couples. We were glad to hear this as it seemed like it …
After eight months of planning and anticipation, the day was finally here: the start of our 20-day tour of Prince Edward Island using only our legs (and the occasional taxi) to get around. Our flight from Toronto to Charlottetown was on time and we were in Cavendish for lunch at Chez Yvonne’s right on schedule. …
