Good morning from Prince Edward Island. We have spent the last couple of days at
a Harvest Host called Shepherd's Farm and Stephen and Sydney have been the
most amazing and gracious hosts! And....We really had a lovely time! They
used to have cooking classes and farm-to-table meals and all kinds of
events out there and stuff.... Life has taken them a different route
recently..And... Missionary work... Yeah!...In Africa teaching farming.... Yeah! So they still have
you know meat for sale, eggs for sale, vegetables for sale...And so we've gotten
to enjoy some of their....Fruits of the farm. But it's been above all else
just a pleasure getting to know them! So today..... We are taking off and heading
to...Well, geee...I don't know where we're going but... We're gonna go for a drive!
Oh there it goes.... I think a Sandhill crane. If I know my birds, which I don't!
Okay first stop on our little drive today...
It's Savage Harbor. It's kind of a little, very short one-way road down here and...
One-way road back... There's signs here for "No overnight parking." But we're not here
to stay... Wow! That's a nice beach!..That's a really nice beach.... Awesome! So yeah! This red earth what do you think?
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw all of the red soil and red sand here.... It
is absolutely gorgeous! So like Beck said, today is just gonna be
a drive! We have a general direction that we're gonna head....But we're gonna zig...
We're gonna zag....We're gonna make u-turns and just kind of see how the day goes!
Alright see you later Shelby! We'll be right back.....Okay so we just pulled into...
Doiron Fisheries. It's a seafood market here
in North Rustico. A couple of legal facts that I learned from our host Stephen, is that
Prince Edward Island is known for giant Bluefin Tuna fishing. Fish in excess of a
thousand pounds and there's also no big gain animals! So when he goes hunting he
has to go to New Brunswick. I thought for sure there'd be some deer or moose on
the island...But no, no big game!.... Hi there
Okay, dozen oysters and a pound of scallops!....So they do not sell any of the
giant Bluefin Tuna that they catch here. Because the mercury content is too high!
And it all gets shipped to Asia!...Little food for thought!
Now this is a bakery...This is a bakery!
Okay, we got a little problem! It's cash only and we're out of cash! American and
Canadian... Good money machine!... Wow these are some beautiful brand-new bills! Take
two.... Alright let's get some stuff at this bakery!.... Okay shopping is out of the
way and it is time for us to go find a place to park for the night! We have
found a spot close to a lighthouse and... The way that we came across this
particular spot was with iOverlander.... We found firewood!...Okay that's what your stopping for...I'm like why
are we pulling over? Yep!... Sorry... Anyway, as I was saying.... We found this spot on
iOverlander. Which is an app that we've started using in our travels! It's so so
for the United States but the minute you drive over a border into another country...
It, your map lights up with all of these cool places to stay! Not really uhhhmm...
Your traditional campgrounds or you know, spots that are made just for
camping.... But rather little spots off the beaten path that maybe don't say no
overnight parking or down a dirt road and onto a beach and that kind of thing!
Uhhmmm...So we're having fun exploring with this new app and we're really looking
forward to the place that we chose for tonight! I think it's gonna be amazing!
And I'm excited to share it with you!... If you haven't been out to Prince Edward
Island, we gotta say that we highly recommend it!
Every turn on this road leads to something more beautiful and.... It's just
I don't know, It has a really special feeling to it and.....
We're really enjoying it! This is only the North Shore.... I know! There's so much just...
I mean it's this tiny little island but there's so much to see and do here! But
we came thinking we'd spend a couple of days and that was almost a week ago! So...
Plan on spending some time and you're going to really enjoy yourself! It's
gorgeous! This looks like our kind of road...Yeah!
It's nice being able to just drive down this road and...
You know that whatever happens, you can turn around or you won't get stuck!
Welcome to our beautiful campsite for the evening at the base of this
lighthouse... It's not bad honey!...What are you cooking?... We have the oysters starting off with
those! And you just kind of put them directly on the grill and pop open!
Alright guys! The Sun is on its way down... The second course of dinner is ready! I
know this is not the proper way of doing scallops but....We're not level so there's
no way I'm getting like that perfect sear on them! And then we have some
yellow beans! But...These ceramic skillets have been doing great for us on this
barbecue..... Well, thanks for joining us on our drive today.... This is like our
favorite thing to do.It's just go for a drive and see what we find and...And
we're meeting amazing people so... Everybody here has found it off of
iOverlander. But there's a couple.... They're from Switzerland.... But he's French and
she's German! A couple from Italy over here, a couple
from Manitoba... Like this is so awesome! And we've all just been socializing!..Yeah! This
is what it's all about! This is what we're doing. This is what we wanted to be
doing! And now we're doing it!... Alright well, we'll see you guys tomorrow morning!
