Driving home from the east coast can be a little bit of a challenge. You're filled with
great memories from your holiday and then you have to face the hours of driving
home. It was a trip that we have made many times, but not really one I was looking forward to for this particular trip. Instead of driving the same route, we decided to take a side trip to PEI. It is one place that has always been on my bucket list.
There are two ways to get onto the island, the Confederation Bridge, a 13 km track from the main land, or by ferry boat. The ferry takes you to the south east side of the island and takes 75 minutes.
We took the ferry over to the island and decided to do some touring along the
coast with the intention of find accommodation in the Cavendish area on the
north shore.
Once you get off of the ferry to take the coastal route, you find that there is open
fields and farm land with little to no traffic. People on the streets waive to you as
you pass by.
As we drove through the small villages, you see signs posted for Rotary clubs. You
wonder how many people are in each club, it can’t be many you think?
Time didn’t allow us to stop to enquire, but the presence of the Rotary signs shows that they are present even in the rural areas and it comes to mind of our theme for this year Rotary Connects the World.
