Day two in PEI. We spent the entire day wandering around downtown Charlottetown. As I mentioned before, the downtown core is really small, so we really didn’t need to allot an entire day for it. But because the weather turned out really nice, we were able to take our time exploring all the landmarks on foot. We first began the day at Founder’s Hall, which took us back in time to Canada in the late 1800’s. As you make your…
This is probably the longest time that’s past since finishing a vacation without updating my travel blog. The move to Japan was a little too big that I’ve pushed my East Coast write up till now. Haha. Nevertheless, I will try to get all the entries done at some point in time. Starting off – PEI. We arrived in Charlottetown mid afternoon and took a taxi straight to our hotel. After dropping off our luggage we went off on foot…
For our final day, we pretty much spent our time in transit. We only managed to catch a couple hours of sleep after returning from the aurora viewing, but we had no choice as we needed to catch our flight to Edmonton in the morning.

After grabbing all our gear, we got picked up at 12:30pm to begin our dogsled tour at Aurora Village. It was my first time doing a day tour with the company and it was definitely much more relaxing than the nighttime aurora viewings. We had a much smaller group, so it…
After coming back from our first night of aurora viewing, we pretty much slept through the morning and didn’t leave the hotel till noon. Luckily the temperature was warmer, so we didn’t freeze as much as we did the first day. We began our day touring the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre. It was a little tricky trying to navigate our way to the museum, partly cause our reference point (the lake) was completely frozen over. LOL. It was…
