Today we do the Eastern most point of PEI. It is too large to drive in one day. 412km-255mi. Our first stop is Greenwich PEI National Park. Her we watch the mussel fishers working St. Peters Bay . We walk for 40 minutes through the woods and over a floating boardwalk. We were rewarded by the view of the spectacular parabolic dune system. Then the empty beach looking both ways. Next is Eastpoint lighthouse where 3 tides meet. We have seafood chowder here yum. North Lake is the tuna capital of the world .The railway museum at Elmira has a large model railway as well as many artifacts. Here is where the confederation trail starts. It is a bicycling and walking path 280k -174 mi. It follows the railway bed that roughly parallel hwy 2. It is used by snowmobile's in the winter. Basin Head and more beaches, this one famous for it's singing sand( high silica contents), but rain had just come down so no song. We head back to St Peters where the mussel museum is but we are too tired and continue back to the RV. A mixture of light rain, clouds and sun ;all day. We drove 197 mi- 317k.
