Thread to discuss PEI
 

It must be feeling left out, given the sudden love-in with a certain western province.

Let's see how many interesting things we can say about PEI.

One rule: potatoes, Anne of Green Gables and Confederation references are not allowed.

Bleak in winter, expensive to come from due to the ferry, pretty houses cheap. Big red mud.

Home province of the 'country' singer that non-country fans in Canada can deal with. Think Skinners Pond.

You obviously haven't been there recently. Regular ferry service stopped when the bridge was opened in 1997.

Re: Thread to discuss PEI
 

I've never been there. Is the bridge free or does the same problem apply?

Full of carnies that smell of cabbage, and have small hands.

They charge you for leaving ( about $40 I believe )

I've never been there either. The bridge toll is $46.50 for a car, which puts it on a par with the Heathrow Express.

When I visited in September, you don't pay to go to PEI but when you leave, you pay $70 for the ferry and $46 for the bridge toll.

Lots of farmland

Darn, was going to mention Hope animal sactuary but their in NS.

PEI, it's the smallest Province yet one of the most beautiful, I think. I'd love to go there.

You can spin and create things from bunny wool, pick wild oysters and go out on a lobster boat, learn to play the spoons.

Re: Thread to discuss PEI
 

So, the $46.50 is really a ransom? You have to pay it to be allowed to leave?

True. I believe that a number of years were spent in Skinners Pond and that is where the Stompin' Tom museum was (now sadly closed down).

PEI does have a great potato museum..which on initial reflection could be construed as an oxymoron.

Lots and lots of farmed mussels.
