Charlottetown, PE


It was a dark and rainy day…. We spent most of the day relaxing, cooking and catching up on our blog today. Late in the afternoon, the weather cleared up enough to go for a longer walk through the city seeing the diversity from modern business to small older houses. A downtown mall wasn’t doing so well and lots of the space was available for lease.

We came across PEI Photo Lab, a store selling mostly film cameras and film and offering film processing and printing. They do it all manually and are so busy that they have a 6-8 week waiting time for processing. We were told that it is largely the 18-25 and 55+ year olds that are getting back into film.

In the evening we walked along the waterfront again and watched the sun go down.

One of the advantages of travelling in a more unstructured way is that you can exchange tips with fellow travellers. We met a couple from Quebec and through broken French gave them some suggestions on what to see based on our experiences.
