Sunday Jul 27th Pictou, NS – New Glasgow,
PEI
 |
| Leaving Pictou, Harbour Lights campground |
 |
| Ferry Dock, Pictou |
What a great day. We left the
campsite about 8.00am so that we would be in plenty of time to catch the 9:30am
ferry to PEI (now that we didn’t have tickets). We were 2nd in line
in the RV/Truck lane so we felt pretty confident. A coffee while we waited and
wandered. We boarded without a problem and totally enjoyed our free journey
from NS to PEI aboard the ‘Confederation’ ferry. Only a 75 minute ride, but
saves a few hours of driving and diesel! So a small piece of advice … if you are going
to PEI and Nova Scotia… do Nova Scotia first , then take the free ferry to PEI
and leave PEI via the Confederation
bridge!!

We went straight to New
Glasgow Highlands campground near New Glasgow and after settling into our site
(#24) we went out on a reconnaissance drive to ‘suss’ the area out. After
making what we thought was a ‘wrong’ turn, we happened upon a fresh sea food
vendor/hut and decided to have a quick look inside… WOW… fresh clams, mussels,
oysters, lobster… Be still my beating heart!!!! The chappy there was very
informative and even let us try a free oyster… by the way… you have to chew
them for best flavour!! Needless to say our ‘wrong turn’ cost us a bit, as we
tottered out of Carr’s seafood place with a dozen fresh oysters, a ‘tourist’
shucker and a 1 1/2lb freshly cooked female lobster. Slavering as we drove home, we totally enjoyed
our decadent pre-dinner feast!! Diet??
What diet??
