Today is the day we have been waiting for since arriving on Prince Edward Island. Today is the day we attend the PEI International Shellfish Festival.
To emphasize the significance of this day, Gary and Hope provided transportation to the festival on a real London double-decker bus and given a tour of Charlottetown. Our tour guide, dressed in 19th century costume, was very knowledgeable and provided great insight into this port town and its people.
The Shellfish Festival was all we hoped for and more. The oysters, mussels, clams, and lobsters were fresh and tasty. The seafood was prepared to satisfy local taste and enjoyed by tourists such as ourselves. The continuous entertainment was professional and truly entertaining. This was the reason we wanted to attend this rally and we were not disappointed.
At 3:30 we were treated to a one hour cruise on the M/V Fairview. This converted lobster boat cruised around Charlottetown Harbor affording us panorama of the city not possible from shore.
We returned to the coach after the cruise then returned to enjoy the festival again.
By 9:30 we were exhausted, but thoroughly pleased with the days’activities.
