2024 Island Walk Rest Day & Charlottetown

Stunning environment, nice people, food & a lollipop! A blogpost in pictures and a short video.

Yesterday a Rest Day

Came downstairs for a leisurely late breakfast. We did not eat at the Inn last night however Dawn had heard that cranberry pie was served! Well...never had cranberry pie...I thought about my strategy very carefully.

Mellanie approached looking very professional with a notepad and pen...Dawn gave her order. My turn...I was ready “I’ll have the cranberry pie...thank you” Mellanie did not skip a beat “With ice cream?” Oh I found that so very swift and funny...and...

Cranberry pie & ice cream a great start to breakfast and the day! Delicious!

Spent some time roaming the cliffs around Johnson Shore Inn...going both West and East a ways. On my return I met Mellanie and Dave and told them  “Walked the circumference of PEI 700+kms and the scenery you have just out your door cannot be matched...the best!”

Then on to lunch at the rustic North Lake Boathouse Eatery

BEST Lobster Roll in PEI!

A little rest on the Adirondack chairs by the cliffs edge then on to supper with a great group of PEI Island Walkers/Supporter 🥰...a lot of laughs...a few tall tales “PAS MOI!!!” 🤣

Salads are amazing!

Chicken cutlets, small potatoes, broccoli and beets - Delicious!

PEI Yo-Yo shortbread chocolate cookie with ice cream!

Then today on to Charlottetown where we immediately set to work to buy some small gifts for the grandchildren, a few kitchen things, 3 varieties of yo-yo cookies (espresso pumpkin spice, salty caramel and zesty lemon) to take home and phew time to eat ☺️

Superb halibut burger, ceasar salad and incredible “flattop potatoes” 

Sorry before eating paid a visit to the PEI Island Walk office and I picked up a nice blue “tech material” t-shirt with The Island Walk crest 

Ok maybe 🤔 not the best picture composition for a t-shirt however trust me…it will look great!😌 

and....voila...the completion certificate #75 (unsure how many of these were walkers vs cyclists)

The LOLLIPOP makes everything worth it 😀!!!

And that is a great way to end a loooonnnnng walk!
