This year’s exciting destination for “Oliver and Peter Go Away for the Long Weekend” (see last year’s edition) is Bathurst, New Brunswick.

This year we’re attempting to pull of an end-to-end “vacation by public transit.” We’re taking Charlottetown Transit to the bus station, Acadia Lines from Charlottetown to Moncton, and VIA Rail to Bathurst, and then we’re staying within walking distance of the train station and busying ourselves with the maximum fun afforded by Bathurst.

As you may have gathered, we have never been to Bathurst before, so it’s all limitless potential right now. See you on Monday.
