Weekend Cooking

August 2014 - Port Elgin New Brunswick

Click here for details of our day driving to Little Shemogue Inn.

This is a delightful secluded county inn run by a German couple and their daughter.

They serve a set menu at 7 PM for $42 a person. A little pricey but the portions were a good size and delicious. 

Out of this world delicious streusel!

Another short day but we spent time exploring before we reached Charlottetown.
It was a beautiful sunny day as we left!

We skipped breakfast at the inn and headed out hoping for a Tim Horton's before crossing the Confederation bridge.
Nope, no Tim's!!!
On our way back we will stop and get photos of the bridge.

Once across we decided to do the North Cape drive.


First stop - Summerside

Then a stop at this astounding church and cemetery, I will do a more detailed post on most of these stops.

Wanted to visit the Acadian Music Centre but it was only open Monday to Friday, really??? In the middle of summer????

 The Bottle Houses!

Down a dirt road to West Point.

Along the coast

Time for lunch in O'Leary- everything potato! Including potato fudge and ice cream.

Then we decided to go to the top - North Cape.

Just a teaser of the church in Miscouche!

Then it was time to head to our stay in Charlottetown for five days.

We headed to the wharf for dinner at Lobster on the Wharf.
Dinner was great, you can build your own fisherman platter so I had a crab cake, two shrimp and a lobster tail.

Day 1 Toronto to Levis QC

Day 2 Levis QC to St. Andrew by the Sea NB

Our drives are getting shorter and we can relax and spend more time sightseeing.

We were so excited this morning to go whale watching. But it was raining lightly as we headed out to breakfast at The Lumberjack. Still hoping, but quickly dashed as they called to say whale watching was cancelled as it rained more heavily and the winds picked up.

Looking out the window.

So we were in the car by 9am and started driving towards our evening accommodations with no real plan in mind.

Turned into this driveway to turn around.

 Stop on a deserted beach.

An impulse stop in St. John (no S) and had a great chat with the commissioner of the Canada parking lot.

Lunch at Billy's.

A stop in Alma.

Hopewell Rocks!!

We are booked for two nights at the Little Shemogue Inn in Port Elgin New Brunswick.

Built in 1859 by one of the first families to settle in the Botsford Parish, the house that would later become the Little Shemogue Inn was located on a grassy knoll about 1.5 miles from its present location.
Eager to take advantage of the ocean view, the owners embarked on a project to move the house from its original site to its present-day home on Shemogue Harbour. The house was moved in one piece on a specialized truck.

Cradled by woodlands and sheltered by Shemogue Harbour, this historic inn boasts a spectacular view and a pristine natural setting. The owners have completely refurbished the Inn's interior, maintaining its rich heritage while creating a comfortable home for visitors and guests.
