Wednesday 22nd August
And so, this is probably the last blog of the holidays! Its been our last day here - tomorrow we'll be packing, hopefully having one final breakfast at Cora's (if we can find it), then it'll be off to the airport to hand back the car, etc etc!!! Seems strange that we won't actually arrive in UK until Friday morning!!
Today has been shopping, shopping and more shopping.... and what did we end up with...... one pair of golf shoes for a certain young man, who insisted on white!! Finally!!!
The weather today has been gorgeous, so why we spent the whole day either in the car, or in a shopping mall, I don't know!!!
We got seriously lost tonight. (Again!) This time we were on a road to nowhere, and couldn't get off it for miles and miles. We were almost at the airport, before we could turn round again! It took us an hour to drive a few km's - now I need to get yet more fuel to get us to the airport tomorrow!
We've had a wonderful holiday, and have lots of memories and photo's to bore you all with! It seems ages since we were last in Leeds - and it will be great to see everyone again (having said that, in a weeks time I could quite happily jump on a plane back to PEI!!!!!)
SEE YOU ALL VERY SOON AND THANKS FOR READING!!!

Tuesday 21 August
Woke up to gorgeous clear blue skies - what a wonderful day to leave our little island.
We drove down to Wood Islands, to catch the ferry across to Nova Scotia (thought it would be nice to travel back a slightly different way!) The ferry crossing was fab - like a mill pond, so we sat on the upper deck and relaxed in the sun for 75 minutes!
Once in Nova Scotia, we drove straight to Halifax, and checked into our hotel. Then it was down to Dartmouth Harbour to catch the ferry across to Halifax - which we love. Had a lovely walk along the boardwalk and an enormous energy juice drink. We walked into the town to find a bank for me (having absolutely no money as usual!) - and found a HSBC!!!! Got money out of my Nat West account, no problem!! Then.. the funniest thing... saw a man waiting to cross the road, who had obviously been to the rest room and not quite tucked himself in/zipped up properly - as there was quite a bit showing which shouldn't have been!!! Thing was, I looked at Charlotte - who had obviously spotted this too, and cracked up laughing - in fact couldn't stop!!!! It was hilarious - poor guy!!!
Once we'd got our last few dollars to last us until the end of our holiday - we went back on the ferry to Dartmouth, to the hotel for a swim. This one has a great water slide, but the water was freezing!!!
After showers, we headed to the Mic Mac Mall, for the last hour of shopping before it closed for the night! Didn't have time to do much damage... but there's always tomorrow!!!
