... uns über die Feuchtgebiete. Die Landschaft war wirklich beeindruckend.
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.
Vor dem Leuchtturm haben wir auch unseren ersten Fuchs gesehen! Fotogen war er dazu auch noch!
Montague war unser heutiges Endziel. Morgen verlassen wir die Insel und nehmen die Fähre nach Nova Scotia.
... bereits Mitte September fertig.
Am späteren Nachmittag sind wir im Campground angekommen und wir gingen nochmals am Strand spazieren. Die Moskitos frassen uns fast auf, dabei heisst es doch immer, die seien im Juli und August am schlimmsten.
Wir fanden am Strand viele Muscheln, welche Nataschas Sammlerherz wieder höher schlagen liessen!
... merkt man sofort, dass alles auf das touristische Ziel 'Anne of the Green Gables' ausgerichtet ist. Vielleicht haben ein paar von euch diese Geschichte in den Jugendjahren auch gelesen. Es steht hier ein Haus mit grünen Giebeln, das wie in der Romanhandlung eingerichtet wurde. Wir haben darauf verzichtet, es zu besuchen. Der Eintritt ist überrissen, und bieten tut es wenig. Auf jeden Fall sind die Japaner hier zahlreich vertreten. Schliesslich ist es deren 4. Lieblingsreiseziel.
Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, Canada swissbearWir sind am Morgen bei starkem Regen losgefahren. Die Überholmanöver der Lastwagen und Autofahrer bei dieser schlechten Sicht waren zeitweise kriminell.
Wir hatten das Glück, dass es gegen Mittag aufgehört hat zu regnen. Vor der Confederation Bridge haben wir einen kurzen Fotostopp eingelegt. Die Brücke ist 13 km lang und verbindet New Brunswick mit Prince ...
... the Laundromat, we headed down to the harbour where we were able to walk quite a distance on the harbour boardwalk - passing many old homes and one particularly striking example built in the 1800’s by a sea captain (and now a museum). We also passed the impressive Lieutenant-Governor’s home on the other side of the street. We found out later that the present Lieutenant Governor is an old family friend of our B& ...
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada wendyandbrian... it was such a fun night. Lee is so great; she’s travelled nearly everywhere and has some awesome stories and she’s really sure of who she is and what she wants out of life; I really admired her. Kathryn is just heaps of fun, she’s really talkative and open and honest.
Day 5: Last day of the Salty Bear Island Hopper tour. Started with a bike ride! This was hard after not getting much sleep. I was in a room with total randoms somehow (nobody from the tour ...
... over the bridge and back and spend a couple of hours in Charlotte town so went for that. The bridge is amazing and took at least 10 mins to get across. It just seems to go on and on. Prince Edward Island is a lovely island and seems quite European in places. We didnt have much time to explore but it was nice just to see the bridge and go over it. Tomorrow we leave Moncton on a 24hour train journey to Toronto.
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada kellybooth16... Sunds vile but is totally lush. They're quite crispy and taste like hot fresh doughnuts. Mmmm. I could feel my arteries furring up with every bite. While I ate I listened to locals discussing the fact that it was the end of the season on the Island and pretty much everything had already closed until May, or was about to. I was slightly alarmed, but reassured when I remembered the shuttle to Cavendish (AKA Avonlea) must be still running as I was booked on the next day's. Next ...
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada southern-fairy... wife. A sweet couple, only they don't hear very well, which makes for a lot of screaming and awkward moments! But they were great, he actually took us to Cavendish in his car and showed us the old post office in his home town. I loved PEI... it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada sophsheldrick... 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.
PEI is also a generally interesting place. They have red mud and a store where everything has cows on it.
