Charlottetown - Prince Edward Island Capital

The next morning we headed towards Charlottetown with the intention of stopping there for the night so we could have a look around. Charlottetown is the Provincial Capital of P.E.I and has a population of approximately 32,000 and the islands major airport. We found a camp about 5 mins out of the town on an arterial highway that by passes the city, overlooking the harbour. The owner here received our least friendly award for our trip to date, plus at C$44.00 he was also the dearest. Guess you just can't win them all! We went out to one of the local malls and Keith made a sizeable contribution to their economy in the menswear department. We had intended eating out but apart from the Cheers Bar which appeared closed and the usual Subway, KFC, McDonalds there wasn't much on offer so we ended up cooking our own.
