June 4 - Gloomy Sunday morning, skies overcast, temp around plus 6C. We're now in a huge r.v. park in Cavendish PEI. We finished off New Brunswick after a large home cookin' breakfast in a little restaurant along highway 2. Next thing we knew, we were crossing over the magnificent bridge that connects PEI to the mainland. Truly an impressive piece of engineering, with raised sections at each end, and a long flat traverse over the Northumberland Strait. Not sure how long it is, as my trusty navigator couldn't dig up that info. But believe me, it's long.

There's a very nice welcome center located just as you enter the island, so we gathered some information, and headed up along the Central Coastal Drive. Farms abound, with the well-known red soil, the noteworthy symbol of the island, visible everywhere you look. Farms are neat and orderly, and dare it be said, prosperous looking. Along the route, you go through a series of small villages, not really towns, named New Glasgow, New London, South Granville, Springbrook, Kensington, and finally to Cavendish and North Rustico.

Once we got to Cavendish, we looked for a main street, but there really isn't one, not in the sense of a commercial center. There's the Anne Of Green Gables museum, the Anne of Green Gables Golf Course, and a host of other touristy venues, aimed at kids and their parents, not so much at old folks like us. But there are several golf courses, bike trails, and the national park at the top of the island that affords great views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. There are also cheese factories, good dining, which we availed ourselves of at the Blue Mussel (very good), and the usual collection of gift shops.

Who knows what today will bring? Seems to be lightening up a bit, so maybe a bike ride, or a drive around, or just not much after three days of heavy driving. Stay tuned. More later.
