Yesterday, we went on a little road trip. We had to go to Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is quite a distance from Prince Edward Island
Our journey took us across three provinces - PEI, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
The road ahead was mostly empty and signs of spring had yet to appear.
We crossed the Cobequid Pass, which is located in Nova Scotia, with climb after climb through rocky terrain.
This lake is on the outskirts of Halifax and, as you see, the weather changed completely by the time we arrived (the journey took four hours, including a short stop for breakfast).
It was a quick turnaround, after a couple of stops, we were back on the road and returning home. The entire trip was more than 600 kilometres (and far too long spent in the car!)
Mr Candytuft drove the city part of the trip, whilst I took over through Truro N.S., after which the roads emptied out and the highway ahead was clear.
The lights ahead are the start of the Confederation Bridge.
We had left in rain, but returned to blue sky, sunshine and 17 C.
Although PEI has yet to turn green, we noticed that spring is more advanced around Halifax, where the grass is green and spring flowers are starting to bloom.
Descending from the bridge as we headed towards home. As you see, all traces of the pack ice have finally disappeared from the Northumberland Strait. Almost home - thankfully!
