today we're going to be taking you around Prince Edward Island one of
Canada's three Maritime Provinces and the final destination of our road trip
we had four days to explore the island and during that time we visited small
fishing villages that walked along the famous red sand beaches toward the home
of Anne of Green Gables sampled our first lobster roll and enjoyed a
delicious seafood feast prepared by Sam's uncle who's a chef on the island
it was a really fun visit so all of that and more coming up in this video
so we thought it would be a really good idea to go for a sunset stroll Suns
going down in beautiful fields and we are now being eaten alive by mosquitoes
we seem especially attracted to dark color so my dad's jacket is covered
defense my friends grab the branch minion flyswatter again alive we quickly
retreated back to the farmhouse we had rented and despite the mosquitos
attacking we did get to enjoy a nice sunset on her sprint back
the following morning we got a bright and early ready to explore the island
our first stop a beach for Togo to splash in
so our first stop of the day today is Gordon Cote beach we thought we would
bring the dog for a swim here in the ocean
yesterday he had a long day in the car cooped up it was a five-hour drive from
Cape Breton to Pei but yeah this is a lovely beach it's
public dogs are allowed it's a red sand beach and we're the only ones here
there's someone else out maybe it's a bit too early for a swim yeah but it's
really nice so he's splashing around chasing sticks another thing to mention
here is that we have great views of the confederation bridge that's the bridge
we crossed yesterday from New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island and this is
actually the longest bridge in the world that crosses over waters that frees fun
fact it's twelve point nine kilometres and
it's free when you cross onto the island but once we leave that's when we pair at
all which is around 50 bucks so what are we up to you for the few days that we're
here what's some of the things we want to do well local rules yeah yeah
especially we're looking for places where the Togo can be on the loose I
don't have to use the leash and maybe we're gonna link up with a famous chef
from the island here he teaches at the culinary school I'm looking forward to
the interaction between Daniel and Hans it's gonna be gonna be special
after our visit to the beach we hop back in the car and drove up to Cavendish
where the main attraction is Green Gables heritage place whether you've
read the books seeing the movies or watched the TV series setting foot here
will transport you to the late 19th century where you can relive and
adventures
on three we're gonna make a wish one two three so we just finished
visiting the home of Anne of Green Gables and we are now walking through
the Haunted wood honestly it's been a while since I read the books so I don't
remember the significance of this but it's a very nice trail through the woods
nice and shaded we just finished visiting the house of Anne of Green
Gables my dad had to stay outside because of the dog he's allowed on the
grounds not in the home which is fair yeah but I I saw the house from outside
and it's one of those farmhouses colonial type of construction it's a
beautiful place the whole area is amazing it's it's like
coming out of a book of our fairy tales you know yeah beautiful gardens and
nothing is seems to be out of place you know everything seems to be like
picture-perfect here and the house well you know for people that don't know
about the story here and of Green Gables you can try to find the yeah there's a
brand new show on Netflix is called Anne with Annie yeah and we watch both
seasons yeah it's great and now we're off to lunch we're going in search of
lobster 11:30 half an hour drive is gonna be lunchtime so the lobster roll
if we can he's ready for lunch - huh
what time is it it's time for can you guess what that is
it's a lobster roll
well guys we're already digging into our lobster roll
mine's half gone because it's not delicious but we came to the lobster
barn or Airbnb host recommended this place she said the food here is amazing
and it is and yeah we got here and the place is packed inside hmm
we've got togi so we can't go inside the restaurant or the patio but we did do
takeout Toby's being a good boy right here yeah
how would you guys describe the raw lobster roll for those it's a it's a
unique item to here yeah it's like the lobster meat like the best of the
lobster man looked like a sweet mayo on top no it's also a bit of lettuce in
there just a really nice packed bond that's a lobster it's a must try if you
come to see I it lobster is the specialty of this of this province in
particular Jerry would have been a bad idea sure everyone has their own Howard
the lobster rolls guys good dad what do you think
well guys that was Victoria by the sea beautiful beautiful I mean first let's
talk about lunch that was incredible Wow first-ever lobster roll I loved it
the texture of the lobster is just so soft it's kind of buttery and oh so good
I could have had two of those sandwiches yeah I mean they're not cheap I would
have had to drop over 30 bucks oh I don't think we mentioned the price so if
you get it as takeout it's $14 for the lobster roll yeah and it's 18 if you're
having it in the restaurant but it comes with fries yeah it's pretty cool you can
get fries or you could substitute them for sweet potato fries and then just
beside there you have a lighthouse to explore you also have a pier to walk
around you have a little beach yeah and we notice a lot of people also kayaking
so great either chilling getting in some exercise or just stuffing your Beach I
notice they had clam digging tours kayaking tours yeah and what sunset tour
- oh yeah - running boat and I also wanted to say like the town is really
small it's just two blocks by two blocks you can covered it's ridiculously cute
though yeah it's definitely worth a spot and yeah that pretty much Park anywhere
and highly highly recommended yeah the following morning we woke up to a rather
grey and rainy day but that wasn't going to keep us from exploring the island we
hopped in a car and drove to Greenwich Beach which had been recommended to us
by a local good morning from Pei it's another morning it's another day it's a
windy one and a rainy one we drove to Greenwich to visit Prince Edward Island
National Parks we're really excited about taking the
dog to the beach but it turns out he's not allowed from like April to October
is it so he's not happy the dog is throwing loudly in the form
of whimpering whimpering crying yeah he's just not a happy camper he's not
allowed on the boardwalk so he stayed behind with my parents
while we walk over to the beach to explore it should be beautiful red sand
beaches it's too bad he can't swim maybe there was a birds nesting or
something and that's why he's not allowed who knows oh yeah we're gonna
share those of use with you we brought some umbrellas so we can still get out
and you know enjoy the scenery even if it's a bit of a wet day and yeah Sam's
pointing me so we made it to Greenwich Beach the place my dad wanted to see
with those iconic long empty desolate beaches that you see on the TV
commercial it's just like that actually we're the only ones at the beach right
now yeah there is not one soul to be had you know it's all it's all power cells
but the only sad part is that we were coming with the dog with all go he was
ready to go swimming and we see that there are signs here that says the dogs
are not allowed at the beach yeah during certain times of year yeah nesting bird
some nesting bird along here I don't see any bird but supposed to be nesting
birds so yeah that one being worked out well the dog had to stay in the car
screaming and barking because we came over here and stayed with my wife in
there and yeah beautiful beautiful beach as far as
the eye can see you got beach and this gives you another
idea how how big this country is and how few people there are here a day like
today okay it's cloudy but it's a nice day to you know to come to the beach
it's nice and fresh and there is no one here says the two lifeguards and us
mosquitos are we are giving blood in every province I mean summertime in
Canada if you come prepare yourself because mosquitoes are everywhere all
right we're gonna continue and try to find ya okay
we drove to a nearby town where toga thought to enjoy some playtime on the
beach and after he had his fill of splashing around and fetching the stick
we got back in the car at this point the rain was really starting to pick up so
we returned back to the farmhouse busy day and it was rainy and gray so we
didn't really feel like going out again so someone decided maple sounds like a
great idea ah so yeah for those for those who haven't seen maple syrup in
Canada check out this guy's check out how big that is totally oh no 500
milliliters no the recipe calls for a quarter cup and Sam poured a full mug no
I think I think my dad was the one advocating for more like it's gonna be
like oh what else is in there mustard mustard salt and pepper to taste
also butter that kind of sort of yeah
okay so who the weather is turning bad and we are in a hurry here
okay tonight we're having a salman we wrapped it up in aluminum foil because
we don't want it to stick to the grill right you know the fish when you put it
on the grill the usually sticks and it starts breaking down and you know it's a
it's a mess sometimes now we're gonna leave it here it's gonna start cooking
before it starts to rain and that's going to be that's gonna be dinner
tonight we're gonna close the lid yeah let it get going and this is gonna take
no time these are the project managers yeah we have a new guest here that
appeared out of nowhere and they say is a neighbor's dog but she's ready for the
barbecue to us yeah a smart country dog that they know when people come to rent
a house they show up and they know they're gonna get something something
good out of it in return so yeah this is going now we're going to go on inside
I'm going to start frying the scallops okay so now we are frying the scallops
with the bacon wrapped around it and yeah this one is just a matter of
waiting for the bacon to really get crispy these are scallops and the
scallops they cook extremely fast so it's just a matter of getting the bacon
to to be nice and crispy and that's it and tonight we're gonna have a gonna be
a light dinner said the salmon and this and a salad that we made because
tomorrow night we're going to have a dinner that is going to make history
yeah okay just stay tuned and you'll see what's coming for tomorrow night it's a
surprise fine look at his salmon look at this look at this beauty oh okay oh okay
now look at the caramelized maple syrup okay perfect and the
the scallops did not last what five minutes I whispered and they were gone
another delicacy okay those scallops right rubbed with the bacon try them
anymore good stuff I'm Dan okay the Dracula's
blood is almost gone it was so good we went for the Argentinian one is called
desk you see a door what's the translation in English I don't know just

wine too so both of them were really good amazingly that one from Romania

got the idea to do maple salmon from a recipe my mom makes yes I have it
Evan probably once every three weeks at home oh nice
lucky guy yeah very good and I want to accentuate how quickly those
bacon-wrapped scallops went yeah with the shortest-lived aperitif on earth we
were swatting each other in this family if you don't grab it quickly tough luck

thought we would give you a tour of the farmhouse mansion where we've been
staying for the past few days we found this place on Airbnb n-- and honestly
there are only like a handful of pet friendly properties on the island so it
was an easy decision and this place is huge
it actually fits up to 16 guests are only five but we do resource space three
floors like what and we're on a working farm yes so yeah when we saw photos of
the place we're like okay let's book this one it's on Airbnb done so we
thought we'd go in and show you around because it's pretty cool it's not every
day that we stay in a mint and we'll also show you the working farm
area we're going to come on the tour here so you come in and this is the main
foyer area we take your shoes take off your coats I'm not gonna take you
upstairs the act first this is our dining room turned off this wherever Sam
and I go you always open up your laptops get to it so we haven't actually eaten
here we have them work there here we have our breakfast nook where we've
actually been eating every single meal breakfast lunch and dinner it's just a
nice cozy spot bay windows it's very bright we also have a huge kitchen the
biggest kitchen I've ever seen you can actually get kind of lost in here when
you're looking for plates and cutlery and pots and pans I feel like I've just
memorized it and now I'm leaving tomorrow it's inside yeah and we have a
huge island yep with this really cool gas stove and also a grill so yeah if
you're into cooking you can have some fun here so what's the living room toko
just came back from his walkie-talkie yeah yeah good walk you have a nice walk
I bet he did he's panting like so yeah lots of big couches here leather couches
where everyone can hang out as a group as a family fireplace which I have
turned on twice you know it's summer because it could be kind of chilly here
on the island and then we also have one bedroom in the back and a bathroom and
access to the garage why don't we just show the master bedroom upstairs sure
our bedroom we're not gonna go snooping through everyone else's bedroom because
maybe it's a little messy there is a I can tell you our bedroom was messy until
about 20 minutes ago Thanks yeah so upstairs there's one two
three bedrooms a laundry room yep and if you come to the very end of the hall
you've got the master bedroom yes place is fantastic look how much
space there is I mean there's a there's an additional bed over there I know like
you could throw more furniture in here and it's kind of empty yeah there's even
a crib in the corner I guess for families with kids yeah no door on the
bathroom which personally it's kind of weird but they have curtains so yeah
there you have it sink with all of your toiletries scattered toilet towel racks
we have our shower over here and also a jacuzzi tub no jacuzzi this is a jacuzzi
which you've been enjoying on the daily I've been having a bath every day Sam is
like bats over showers I'm showers of me when you have something that's nice you
utilize it so basically that's the tour of the interior there's one more bedroom
upstairs in the Attic but like the beds aren't made it's just mattresses there
right now but I think you can fit like three more people in there yeah this
place is huge so now let's go downstairs and Sam can show you a bit of the form
oh hello okay go with that go with that I meant
to pick y'all it licked me in the mouth
those that we've been we've been exploring Pei for the last 4 days were
there any particular highlights things that we did that you really enjoyed well
it just generally the Chi you know the calmness of the island
driving along the coastal areas walking along the beaches driving by farmlands
the place we're staying right now is just a beautiful big mansion everybody
had a great time and it was just just an all-around enjoyable stay here on PEI so
there's a lot to do in the Maritimes from here well I would recommend a
vacation here anybody that lives in Ontario Quebec yeah I'm in the West you
know you come out here and you just start relaxing right away that people
are really friendly they're helpful they're in general like you you get this
grin on your face and never goes away you know yeah it's it's a nice little
piece of life out here yeah laid-back and you just take everything in you know
yeah nothing yeah that that was the highlight for me too
yeah yeah so the trip has come to an end it is our last day here on P I so time
for final thoughts and overall impressions well sad to see it end but
you cannot live on a perpetual vacation so you know yeah it was a really nice
trip I've never been in this part of Canada before so for me it was all new
and I think it's every province that we visited has been magnificent you know
beautiful more than I was expecting the services the roads everything is perfect
you know pristine clean the accommodations we've had Oh
same thing all top-notch neither one of the provinces that we visited we've seen
the whole thing it's been a partial trip because to visit each province in detail
you need I mean a half a year you know at least so for the Atlantic let's say
so we did have as much as we could with the amount of time that we had
yeah two weeks actually wait yeah in general there's been a beautiful trip
Togo has enjoyed it immensely he's warming the lakes is from in the ocean
he's been running around the woods and the trails and yeah it's a nice vacation
if you like that type of outdoors wilderness kind of thing you know yeah
we hope you guys enjoyed following along through three provinces yeah we had a
really good time and I'm sure there will be more road trips on the horizon
neither thanks a tune or that so long right guys
