Weather low 80's a little rainshower
To get to PEI by motor home we chose to take the
Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick across the Northumberland Strait. The bridge is fairly new (1997) and cost $1.3 billion dollars; now we understand why one of the locals said they could have had a Space Shuttle!
There is no charge to get onto the island but you pay a toll when you leave - either you take the bridge at $44.25 + $7.25 per extra axle or there is a ferry from PEI to Nova Scotia if that direction is better suited to your next destination. Ferry for us would be $107 and in busy season you need to reserve and make it there at a scheduled departure time. We will take the bridge as a ferry ride is something we have not worked up the courage to do yet! The bridge is quite a site at 8 miles long - see the hump and curve in the middle???

Our campsite destination is the opposite side of the island in the Green Gables area at the
KOA in Cavendish. It's central to the island and will be our home base for the week to ride and explore.
