On our first full day in PEI we wroked our way west along the north shore, stopping to watch the oyster fishermen and then to walk in Cavendish. We stopped for two nights at a B&B in Miscouche, just outside Summerside, and were surprised to have two CF-18s doing circuits above us, even though the military no longer owns the airport.
The next day we started by visiting the Mi'Kmaq land on Lennox Island where we looked through the museum and walked some trails. We continued west until we got to North Cape. Here there is a wind energy research station, and just off the point there is a long spit of land, visible at low tide, that marks the join of the currents from the west and east coasts. All the time we were there a bald eagle stood on the small visible part of the spit, while dozens of seals were in a line, looking like they were sitting on the submerged part of the spit. We drove back to Miscoucche along the west coast with lots of typical low red cliffs and lighthouses, and were eventually able to see the Confederation bridge in the extreme distance.
On our last day we followed the coast though Borde,n where the bridge starts, to Fort Amherst that looks out over the natural harbour to Charlotteown. It was then time to return to the bridge and head to New Brunswick.
