Leaving Cape Breton, we drove the Cape George peninsula of Nova Scotia and stopped to enjoy the views at the beautiful lighthouse overlooking the Northumberland Straight. Unfortunately the Red Barron's muffler finally gave out, and the intollerable racket had to be fixed in Pictou. This delayed our ferry ride to PEI, and forced a change of plans requiring a night at the Aloha Tourist House in Charlottetown. However, there was free cake! The vivid red soil is an intense contrast to the blue skies and lush green pastures, and dandelions are also numerous as PEI has banned the use of pesticides/herbicides. To finish the day we ventured to the island's only craft brewery, the Gahan House, to try some local beer and PEI spuds.
