The rain beat down on the roof of my tent all night. Having got to bed so late, with checkout being at 11am, both Jenn and I found ourselves sleep deprived in the morning. Despite the groggy start we soon found ourselves on the road where we arrived at a nearby restaurant.
With our appetites sated we took to the road once more, heading to Prince Edward Island Nation Park. As we arrived we were greeted by pristine sandy beaches alongside endless waves working their way to the shoreline. With a cool sea breeze and blue skies above, it was the perfect weather for an afternoon stroll. Winnie was overjoyed, she immediately took to the sandy shore with us, bouncing and running laps with seemingly endless energy. Sand dunes rose up along the oceans edge, often garnished with patches of healthy tall grass.
What was originally planned as a short jaunt turned into hours as we soaked in the scenery surrounding us. Eventually we made our way back to the car. We drove to a shaded area to relax and figure out our next stop. Fatigue was setting in, the lack on sleep from the night before starting to catch up with us. We figured it best to find a campground close by and rest up.
The drive took us 45 minutes east where we camped close to our destination for the next day. With an abundance of amenities I was able to get some laundry done while Jenn caught some z’s. Night time had arrived at last. We made a campfire and huddled close for its warmth before retiring to the tent. A wonderful start to our first day in Prince Edward Island came to a sleepy finish.
