Monday 24th September 2012 ­ Charlottetown Prince Edward Island Canada: Peg Tackles a Mooey ­ Gooey PEI Strawberry Ice Cream - 4hrs BST

If there I one thing Peg adores, it is a good ice cream.  I could make an album of photos I have taken in Italy and Mediterranean of Peg enjoying her favourite treat – well after chocolate éclairs!!

There is a famous dairy and creamery on PEI appropriately called ‘Cows’ that produces exotic ice cream with flavours such as ‘toffee with sea salt’ and textures such as ‘Mooey-Gooey’.  The queue was almost out of the door since I think the entire complement of passengers and crew of the Balmoral were determined to savour one of these delights before returning to the ship. Patience was, however, rewarded, although signs of a mutiny erupted as the last portion of Gooey-Mooey was dispensed (!) but thank goodness the supplies of strawberry – and not just strawberry but PEI strawberries – ice cream did not run out before Peg and I reached the head of the queue.

It made for a fitting end to a wonderful day in this lovely part of the world.

 

PS Ekkaret our Assistant Waiter from Thailand now provides Peg with two scoops of ice cream with dessert at dinner whether its part of the sweet or not!!
