The Adventures of Sunsette -- Our PEI souvenir (July 11)

[Alliecat]

"Our great little car is a '95 Toyota Corolla.  This reminds me that Mum was going to take a picture of me and Scarlett with it, and she forgot.
"And, you don't need your brakes to drive over the bridge!!"

"So we are on the road again.  Hans the mechanic is a man of few words and did we mention the place is a dump??  But apparently 'everybody' local thinks he's terrific, so that was reassuring.  We have a shiny new brake caliper.
"We've covered a lot of the west end, up to almost the north shore, and some of the south/east shore.  We had to leave our Airbnb and now we're really slumming it in a university residence because that was the only accommodation with a kitchen that didn't cost $200 a night or was a bring-your-own-bedding 'rustic' cabin.  Blaaah."



"Today's drive included Hannah's Bottle Village which was entertaining but we didn't stay long because although it said 'open', no one was around.  It's a collection of bottle trees and little houses made of cement and bottles.  There is a mind-boggling number of bottles here."



"This is Point Prim lighthouse.  Mum really liked the road here, stopped in at an art shop, and the lighthouse gift shop staffed by a jovial English lady, and spent moar moneyz, oops.  Also we saw a billboard for a big acreage for sale, which the art shop lady said was her friend's, but after we'd had a furtive peek down the lane and looked the place up, it was $1.2 million.  Uh, no.  The other house and lots for sale along there aren't what we're looking for either."



"And we went down to Wood Islands to see where the ferry goes to Nova Scotia.  It had just left.  It was kind of chilly and windy so we just had a quick look."

"We have a couple of days left ... assuming we're not wrecked tomorrow from trying to sleep in this place.  Wish us luck."

"Love, Sunsette    "
