Ferry to Prince Edward Island


On Sunday we attended a 10.30am service at the United Church at Scotsburn which happened to be an address by a 16 year old boy who has formed a foundation to help provide water wells in Africa. Following this we made our way down to the wharf to catch the ferry across to Prince Edward Island (PEI). Unfortunately they didn't have enough space for our motor home so we had to wait for the next one an hour and three quarters later. This was no hardship as we put on the kettle and had a cuppa and a read on the bed while we waited. The crossing takes 75 minutes. You drive in one end and off the other upon arrival. Three young girls from a family travelling across provided music in the form of a medley of Celtic melodies on a guitar, a pipe whistle and a violin.
