Fog and mist on the Sunrise Trail. Nova Scotia. June 2012.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Thursday Travels post. I know. It’s Friday, not Thursday. But I’m off skiing this afternoon and won’t have time to post the photos from that little adventure so you’re stuck with a scheduled post and some travel photos from Nova Scotia today. In my last Thursday Travels post (Ferries and boats and lighthouses, oh my), M and I had just landed in Nova Scotia. We left Caribou, Nova Scotia, and went east on the Sunrise Trail, making our way towards Cape Breton.

Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island
Last week when we left off, M and I were getting ready to leave Prince Edward Island. After a quick visit to say goodbye to the beach, we made our way to Wood Islands, PEI to take the ferry to Caribou, Nova Scotia. (Side note: This must seem like it was the longest trip in the world, especially when you consider that this is only the half way point. We really did pack in a lot of activities each day.)

I think this is the Covehead Lighthouse. (Late afternoon, 6 June 2012.)
Well, here we are back on Prince Edward Island. It’s just about time to say goodbye. M and I had only one full day there, and we did as much as we could considering the weather.

Walking back over the floating boardwalk
Because of the weather, it was a fast hike out to the beach and back. If you are a birder, the floating boardwalk over Bowley Pond is a great place to look for birds. I saw numerous birds, but couldn’t capture any photos of them as it was just too windy and wet.

Last week we left off near the dunes in Greenwich. As I mentioned, the dunes are parabolic dunes. They move. Strong, unidirectional winds cause the dunes to migrate.

Looking down from the floating boardwalk. Prince Edward Island.
Last week I left us standing on the floating boardwalk in Greenwich, part of the Prince Edward Island National Park system. The floating boardwalk takes you over Bowley Pond and eventually to the beach.

Standing near the edge. North Shore, near Rustico, Prince Edward Island.
I left us standing near the edge of the red cliffs of Prince Edward Island in my last chapter of Thursday Travels. It’s not a bad place to be left for a while, to contemplate life, the universe, the gulf, and everything.
