Gorgeous! We busted around mid October and the leaves were begging to change. Everything was so well kept and picture perfect. They had flowers I’d never seen before. They were so pretty!! Enjoyed walking around here for a while!

I just drove across the sea via the Confederation Bridge to enter Prince Edward Island. There was no bridge toll of 50 Canadian dollars. I saw a notice that it was charged when leaving the island at the other end of the bridge.
So I drove to Cape Breton Island via the Wood Island ferry. I was happy that I had escaped the bridge toll. But the ferry fee was 90 Canadian dollars, which was 70 Canadian dollars more expensive than the normal single ticket price of 20 Canadian dollars. It is said that this includes the bridge toll and the return ferry fee. The bridge and the ferry are both under the jurisdiction of the Canadian government's transportation department. The charges are too high. If you go back to Prince Edward Island from the ferry and then leave the island via the Confederation Bridge, you have to pay another 50 Canadian dollars, which is unreasonable.
Not far from the Confederation Bridge is another famous cross-sea bridge in Canada, Canso Causeway, which is free to pass.
Both the Confederation Bridge and Cansp Causeway were built decades ago and are not as good as today's Chinese cross-sea bridges like Hangzhou Bay, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao...
