Prince Edward Island: Day 2

Today we had the full day to travel  and started off visiting the St. Dunstan Basilica in Charlottetown. Our Airbnb was literally a block and a half away; so we figured it would be neat to check out the interior! We then drove over to the Summerside area and took a look around. It was still pretty early so things were pretty quiet, but we fell in love with the colourful shops on Spinnakers Landing. I'm embarrassed to admit this; but we ended up getting food at McDonalds. Fish and Chips aren't on the Toronto menu at McDonalds so curiosity got the best of us and we had to give it a shot! I can't lie; it wasn't bad at all!

We then drove to an attraction called Bottle Houses- Maisons de Bouteilles; a collection of buildings made out of glass bottles. My photos don't do it justice whatsoever (Google it to see better photos), but it was beautiful! Had a bit of a fantasty feel to it all, especially when the sun came through the coloured bottles. Close by was the Green Gables Alpaca Farm which we decided to check out. Why not visit some Alpacas (and lamas)? Getting up close and personal with the alpacas was loads of fun!

On our way back, we passed by a view of the Confederation Bridge which of course we had to stop and look at! It's wild to see this giant bridge across the skyline...in a previous East Coast trip, I remember driving across what felt like an endless giant bridge, seeing all the potato trucks driving alongside our car xD. We ended off our evening with a musical - a production of Anne and Gilbert (because you can't go to PEI without paying homage to Anne of Green Gables!).
