Hertz Rental Cars

I must say a big thank you to Joey at the Halifax International Airport for getting us this Volvo car. It was an all wheel drive, with great gas milage.

It would have been nice to have this eh?! It's my friend's Porsche in Japan.

North Rustico, Prince Edward Island

I had gone to North Rustico as a kid. We stayed in nearby Cavendish but went sight seeing in North Rustico.

The community park

Where we had our Lobster supper, Fisherman's Wharf.

Tim Hortons Coffee and Donuts

This is a Canadian institution. It's dear to the heart of all Canadians.

The last of the Timbits and a single donut. Timbits are small bite sized donuts which are extremely popular with Canadians. No visit home is complete without getting a box.

A French Vanilla coffee. I had to get my wife a triple triple.

Hector heritage quay, Pictou, Nova Scotia, September, 2013

It's hard to believe that it's been a month since I was home. It's also hard to believe I'm still going through my pictures of the trip.

Pictou harbor with a little bit of the Hector on the left.

Leena with the Hector. I was part of the 84th Regiment when we laid down the keel. I asked about, and was told the masts and rigging had been taken down for repairs but it may also have been that the management of the site is having problems.

The other problem was that we had no time to go inside to see the museum as it opened at 11am and we wanted to visit the Museum of Industry over in Stellerton.

Models of ships

This piece of wood was what inspired a scence from Titanic (1997)

Lionstone Motel and Cottages, Pictou, Nova Scotia

This was a nice little tourist motel and cottage place we lucked into getting a cabin the night we came back from PEI. The cabin was a two bedroom double bed room with a kitchen and a full bath.

The room my son and I used.

COWS Ice-cream, BOOM Burger and Anne of Green Gables choclates

Lets just sum this up as THE place for THE best cheeseburgers, ice-cream and choclates made on Prince Edward Island! If not the whole world!

The Nova Scotia Tourism lady whom I have forgotten what her name was, that's bad of me.

My family waiting to land on PEI. We sat here and enjoyed the snacks we brought with us.

 

 

 

 

Coming back a few days later, we stopped at the Woods Island Provincial Park

 

 

Lovely sunsets my wife took from the Woods Island Ferry terminal
