Getting back to my East Coast trip. My favourite spot out of all the scenic locations we visited had to have been Mahone Bay. I would say it was definitely worth making the drive from out from Halifax to spend the day there. Early that morning up we picked up our rental car and drove straight to Mahone Bay.

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…
