We woke up to a dull and damp morning, with no real plans for the day other than to rest after the trip down. The owners of the apartment supplied bread, milk, jam, butter coffee etc. for breakfast so we didn’t have to starve. After breakfast we hung around for a while then went into the local village to get some supplies for lunch and dinners.
After lunch we took a walk down to the beach which is about 500 metres away; the red sand and cliffs are quite different from anywhere else we have been over here. Unfortunately the picture below doesn’t really do the colour justice.
Walking back from the beach we had a good view of the apartment, which is the upper level area behind the balcony on the left side of the building.
As the afternoon wore on the weather improved and we had clear blue skies and warm temperatures. The novelty of doing nothing wore off after a couple of hours so we headed back down to the beach. The tide was now out so it was off with shoes and into paddle mode.
On the way back we were talking to our hostess and she was asking if we had seen the cruise ship depart. Seems that this is a big event around here, 2-3 times a week Holland America and Norwegian come into Charlottetown for a day on their way up the east coast to Quebec City.
Once the excitement of the cruise ship departure was over it was time to BBQ and eat out on the deck with a great view over the Northumberland Straight to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
