First up, I learned the reason the "river" outside our hotel was a big mudpile is that it's part of the Bay of Fundy, and it was low tide. But by the time we checked out, it was a quickly flowing (yet still brown) current. It looked like a big river of chocolate milk. We drove from Moncton, NB to Charlottetown, PEI today. That meant we were on the Confederation Bridge, the longest bridge in the world that covers (sometimes) frozen water. It's a long bridge -- took us about 9 minutes at 80km/h. There's no toll to get on the island, but it's $40 to get off the island. We'll actually pay more as we're leaving by ferry. All the tolls/fares seem to be round-trip, so there's no escaping it. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of if you're coming here. It was a short drive between the cities, and we spent most of today exploring the city. Well, actually, the waterfront. It's a neat little downtown. Had some great beer at some microbrewery called the Gahan House brewing company. The Honey Wheat is fantastic, and the Stout is wonderful as well. I highly recommend it. Dinner was at a small chinese take-out on the main drag -- not bad, not great. Pretty much what I expected. We'll be heading to North Sydney tomorrow -- another short drive but it includes the aforementioned ferry ride. That'll be fun - 75 minutes at sea. We'll then spend the night there before getting up super early to cross over to Newfoundland. More later.
