OK, that was the best bed i have ever slept on. Pillow top and down comforter. I did not want to get out of bed. So if you are ever in Halifax, stay at the Prince George Hotel.

We ate a great Berkeley/European/Eclectic breakfast at a coffee house near the University: Steve-a-Reno's. Linda had an oatcake that I should prescribe for constipation. It was oats glued together with honey and weighed about a ton. I quickly got out the map and starting marking restroom stops.

We drove down the coast (down is up....since the Gulf of mexico current flows northeast, the locals call 'up' on the map 'down'. We then turned in and drove the the Caribou to Woods Island ferry. 75 minutes to Prince Edward Island.

PEI is known for cows, milk, mussels, oysters, and potatoes. The land is very green and cultivated. We arrived in the capital, Charlottetown, at about 7 and checked into our B&B.

Another ferry! This one is 75 minutes long and takes us to Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province.
