Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles 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 kiss the others when someone loses his mind yeah basically crazy and its mouth back from 2016 we come from the top in gato in Mendoza Argentina really good wine too so both of them were really good amazingly that one from Romania it was Jorge it was excellent was the the one from Romania was was a Quentin so was the one from Argentina well they're all back yeah and we actually 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 that's what well good morning from Prince Edward Island how are you doing dad I'm gonna make breakfast this morning we're gonna have bacon yep and my patented flapjacks with a query of blueberries and and banana yep no matter what you say yes sir excuse the slurry there's a slurry is the

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
