  • 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

  • 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
