The wind stayed strong through the night, interrupting sleep as it howled throughout the tent. When we woke up, we were feeling rather groggy and exhausted. Despite the sleepy start, we were ready to embrace the day.
We soon found ourselves entering into a vineyard that appeared beaten and ravaged. Countless grapes lay scattered across the ground, broken twigs and vines adding to the mess. Hurricane Dorian had been cruel to this plot of land and the winery was closed until further notice.
The next winery on our list was close by and it wasn’t long until we’d arrived. Rossignol Estate Winery was lucky, having taken significantly less damage from the hurricane. The main building sat high on a hill looking out over the water, a scenic and beautiful location. We walked inside and did a round of samplers, tasting the various wines they offered. Having found a few we liked, we picked up a few bottles and continued on with the day.
With the sun beating down on us we simply had to get some ice cream and decided to stop at Cows Creamery for a bite to eat. They claimed they were Canada’s best ice cream but we would be the judge of such a boast. Having picked up a few cones we began chowing down. Was it the best ice cream I’d had in the country? Hard to say, it was delicious though!
The day was nearing it’s end but we took advantage of the light we had, visiting Argyle Shore Provincial Park to take a walk along the waters edge. The place offered a unique look some of the block like crumbling cliffs.
With the sun taking its final dip below the horizon we pressed on, passing Confederation Bridge on our way west. We found a nice little campground by the ocean where we settled in for the evening, a day of adventures coming to its close.
