Comfort Inn-Charlottettown Charlottetown

... we exit the ship. It, like the others, has all of the souvenirs you can imagine. On the stage, young are girls doing highland dances for the crowd. As we enter the city we pass by two large and historic churches and the very old Rodd Inn. Despite it being a Monday morning, the city seems very sleepy. A lobster restaurant is located 100 yards to the left of the ship. We make a note of this place for a future trip. <br>

... uns über die Feuchtgebiete. Die Landschaft war wirklich beeindruckend. <br><br>Weiter ging es zum East Point Leuchtturm. Dieser gehört zu den ältesten Leuchttürmen von P.E.I. und ist der noch einzige 'bemannte'. Ausserdem steht er am nördlichsten Punkt der Insel.<br><br>Vor dem Leuchtturm haben wir auch unseren ersten Fuchs gesehen! Fotogen war er dazu auch noch! <br><br>Montague war unser heutiges Endziel. Morgen verlassen wir die Insel und nehmen die Fähre nach Nova Scotia.

Heute beschlossen wir, den Prince Edward Island Nationalpark zu erkunden. Beeindruckend waren die Dünenlandschaften, die roten Felsen und die einsamen weissen Strände.<br><br>Wir machten gerade einen kleinen Spaziergang, als wir die Schreie von Gänsen hörten. Es wurde immer lauter. Als wir an den Himmel blickten, sahen wir ein besonderes Spektakel. Die ...

... and a half hour &#8211; maybe five hour - round. This did not sit well with a threesome of charging young lawyers behind us who apparently had court times scheduled for later that afternoon, because they called the pro shop and sicced the marshal on we (as they say on Newfoundland). It was the only down side to an otherwise delightful afternoon.<br><br>We went back to the harbour area following the game but the music coming out of the seafood festival tent did ...

... a four bedroom cottage in the town of Cavendish, on the northern shore of central Prince Edward Island. Reassured by Garmi, we skirted to the north of Charlottetown and made our way to The Cavendish Cottages, driving past many fields of hay, potatoes and cows and a few pretty sea-coves and inlets. Our cottage was well equipped and one of what seemed like several thousand that stood hopefully along the Cavendish Road. Mike and I, claiming infirmities that had ...

... over and slept until my alarm at 6.45. Breakfast was at the absurd time of 7am- I can get ready fast if I really want to. The Japanese girls I was sharing with were all putting on their makeup and I just got up, put on some clothes and tied back my hair, easy! Breakfast I had pancakes with maple syrup and juice; loving the maple syrup here obviously. Then we set off; driving the Cabot Trail to the Highlands National Park. On the way we stopped at &#8216;Joe&#8217;s Scarecrows ...

... up a storm. So I plomp down beside him, after a warm embrace and lots of screaming of course and we chill it up like old school times. I sang a few songs on his axe and made a couple quick fivers, left the rest in the hat for him. He scored smokes and food from a girl he was friends with at the store. This was the essence of the madness that I mentioned. So many people, conversations, emotions and whimsical meandering. The two of us sat and played, people came in and out with ...

... week and the concept of flying was a new fangled hobby and the locals would provide a building for it but weren't sure what to do next. Excellent. They knew what to do with tourists though. I'm so loving how the tourist information was the place which had had most money spent on it in the whole place. The nice lady phoned the hostel for me and confirmed my reservation (top marks) and pointed me to a taxi. Hilariously - the protocol for getting a taxi from the airport (the only ...

... Charlottetown. PEI is easy to describe, its like one big lynx golf course. A great place to spend the last few months of our trip. PEI´ers love the Irish, so we had a ball pretending that Irish people really say **** like ´bejasus´ and ´begurra´. Lapped it up. Only messing. PEI is a really lovely and friendly place. One day we were walking down the street outside our apartment and a ...

... like gingerbread houses, and it's still small enough that even in peak tourist season (i.e. when we went in August), it's still not super-crowded and is actually able to retain its very quaint feel. I'm looking in your direction, San Francisco: Pier 39 is no longer 'cute' or 'quaint' or even 'kitschy.' It's just a crowded, overpriced tourist trap. <br><br>PEI is also a generally interesting place. They have red mud and a store where everything has cows on it.
