Spend the morning at Alexander Graham Bell Museum in Beddeck NS Bell built a summer home here and stayed for about 9-10 months every year. The "cottage" is more like a castle.. His wife was wealthy and he made a fortune from the phone. I think everyone knows that Bell invented the telephone but he invented lots of other stuff as well.. He spend years and tons of $$$ to built a hydrofoil for the navy during the first world war and got it perfected just as the war ended. Never made a dime but his design is now used in hydrofoils all over the world. He and several others got a airplane off the ground just a few years after the Wright Brother did and it flew higher and farther tan the Wright. A real interesting morning.
We then drove to the PEI ferry and crossed over in the rain. We are now on the north shore camping for the night.
For those of you that arte wondering we are very happy with the Roadtrek, she is all and more that we had hoped for and we plan on many years and miles (kms) with her.
