PEI 3

Over the next two days we travelled round  the island and went to a couple of concerts which were part of the Festival of Small Halls, one off concerts held at various small community and church halls all around the island over 11 days. Some great acts, and we Aussies were singled out because we came from the furthest away, and won a CD, and Barry was taken up on stage to play the violin with one of the acts. (No, he doesn't even play the violin) lot of laughs.

 Hired some bikes and did a section of the Confederation Trail, a bike/walking trail which follows the abandoned railway lines and extends from one end of Prince Edward Island to the other. The part we did was one of the most scenic parts of the Trail, running beside the water most of the way, past bays, boats, old bridges, lovely farms and houses. Nearly ran over a squirrel and a snake on the trail, but alas, we have seen no bears or moose.

We finally did some camping on PEI as the weather was warmer and drier than it had been. People think there are a lot of flies and biting things in Australia, but they have nothing on the flies we encountered here. Barry and I both had enormous bites on our legs, face and necks for many days.
