Prince Edward Island

Arrival at Prince Edward Island

We head towards the Canso Causeway and continue to Caribou, which we reach at 10:00 for boarding at 11:15, right on time. Under a beautiful sun, we leave Nova Scotia and arrive in an hour and fifteen minutes at Wood Island in Prince Edward Island, the smallest province of Canada. There are no breathtaking landscapes, but the intense red of the earth, the blue of the water and the green of the meadows They make it worth a visit. Until Charlottetown we encounter several farms with eye-catching signs that read "new potatoes". Indeed, the fields of this tuber are very common. It's surprising to see how the region's potatoes are even earlier than ours in the mountains. Charlottetown stands out for its abundance of tree-lined streets, but it doesn't deserve a stop for its monuments. We observed that, both in town and outside, drivers are careful with their speed. Therefore, either the islanders are very cautious or the police are particularly efficient. We leave Prince Edward Island passing through Confederation Bridge, which are said to be the longest bridge in the world with its 13 km. On the other side is New Brunswick, but we don't stop until Campbellton, at the border with Quebec. The area covered is well-covered by forests with a landscape that can sometimes be monotonous. A road sign indicates the phone number to call in case of moose sightings. Along the roadside, there are nets that have the obvious task of preventing animals from crossing the road. We didn't encounter any, however. We stop in the tourist town of Carleton at the Marie Claire B&B.
We dined with expertly prepared lobster by a Moroccan, Mustapha. The restaurant is located on the coast and was rightly recommended to us by Marie Claire. Tasting the lobster in this, which is the capital of fishing, is almost a must, knowing that they are killed by immersion in boiling water makes us feel like barbarians.
