Off to Charlottetown where we went to Cows Creamery for a factory tour, and wore neat little Cow hats. It was all very top secret so they wouldn’t let us take photos as we might give away their success! We watched how they made their t-shirts, cheese, and of course, the ice cream. It’s all hand mixed with the freshest fruits and yummiest chocolate and caramel one can find! At the end we had yummy samples!
Afterwards, we went to Charlottetown and explored the interactive museum in Founders Hall. It was a great way to learn about Confederation and how Canada’s story has come together.
Then we went on a gentle horse and trolley tour ride and learned a lot about the local history of the city. The homes are very beautiful and the prices are much more reasonable than in Toronto! We had no idea prohibition lasted in PEI until 1945! They only started using plastic bottles in 2008, before that it was all glass!
At the wharf the kids had a chance to put their hands on starfish and Mik was brave enough to pick up a crab!
We then drove onto the ferry boat that took us to Nova Scotia. We waved goodbye to the red sand beaches and lighthouses and we moved onto our fourth Canadian province! We are currently on our way to our hotel in Halifax. We really enjoyed PEI and know we will return another time…..
