We fly home today, our check-out time at the cottage was 10:00 am. We were up, packed and ready to go, it is a lot easier when you have to fit everything in five suitcases, rather than packing a car up. Another possibility for our blog photo.
The Wild Rose cottage.
Because our flight was not until late this afternoon, we had some time to kill. Gillian wanted to go back to the stores at the Confederation Bridge. It also meant we could visit one last lighthouse.
The Port Borden Back Range Light. It was built in 1917 and decommissioned in 1997 and moved to the Marine Rail Park when the Bridge opened.

The lighthouse is located in the Borden-Carelton Marine Rail Park.

We drove into Charlottetown to walk around. While driving into town we saw this stop sign down near Victoria Park.
A rest at our first Starbucks stop.
Most of the tourist traffic has left, this is looking up Queen Street at noon on a Saturday afternoon.
Across the street you can see the Water Street Pub, our lunch stop the past two Saturday’s. We picked a new place this week.
Lunch was at the Merchant Man restaurant.
The Charlottetown harbour.
It was the PEI Busker Festival this weekend in Charlottetown. This was Katay Santos from Venezuela. He’s a professional.
This statue commemorates the fact that two of the 1864 Charlottetown Conference delegates had the same name. There were two John Hamilton Grays.
St Dunstan’s Basilica.
The girls with Sir John A Macdonald.
The last photo of Charlottetown.
Our flight is delayed by 40 minutes, we are just hanging out in the Charlottetown airport, unfortunately there is no Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge.
An update: Our flight was delayed by 65 minutes and it was smooth all the way back to Toronto. We were at the back of the bus.
Everyone was happy to be going home, but not happy to leave PEI.
It was a great trip, the weather was good for the most part, we experienced everything, and if we waited 15 minutes the weather would change.
