Dreams to Sea Cavendish

... 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>

... bereits Mitte September fertig.<br><br>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. <br>Wir fanden am Strand viele Muscheln, welche Nataschas Sammlerherz wieder höher schlagen liessen!<br>

Als erstes haben wir Charlottetown angeschaut. In dieser Hauptstadt leben 35'000 Einwohner. Das Stadtbild ist geprägt von vielen alten und viktorianischen Bauten. Klein, aber fein und mit ein paar wenigen Sehenswürdigkeiten.<br><br>Danach machten wir uns auf den Weg nach Cavendish. Wir fuhren dem Coastal Drive entlang, welche uns durch kleine Ortschaften brachte. Die Landschaft ist beeindruckend. Grüne Felder, durchzogen von roten Kartoffelackern und die Küste.<br><br>In Cavendish ...

... It plays along the sea coast and features booming forced carries, canyon-like bunkers, undulating greens, strong on-shore breezes and carries a slope of 148 from the tips. A tough layout. <br><br>We had several interesting adventures at Crowbush. One featured a fox who joined us on the seventh hole. He/she would come right up to the golf carts and would not be intimidated by the threat of a putter between the eyes (perhaps having seen the accuracy with which ...

... a stop light, or in a restaurant where the waitress wasn&#8217;t sure whether to call the cops or what. Luigi was to accompany us for the balance of our trip and could often be heard jabbering away about something or other on our radios.<br><br>.<br><br>Not having been blessed with daughters I was not fully up on the Anne of Green Gables legend, although we had seen an inspired musical version featuring niece Clare earlier in the summer. That orientation was ...

... s going to go visit Emily tomorrow for a few days.<br><br>Monday: Miserable, rainy, misty, day. Drive Alexis to Emily&#8217;s at the north-eastern tip of PEI and Nick and I hang out at the trailer. We have supper then Nick drives to the ferry to pick Louise up. Louise takes the truck to go visit Denise. She&#8217;ll be back in the morning to take the ferry back to Nova Scotia and John. Nick and I watch the movie Slumdog Millionaire, the story of a teenage orphan from Mumbai who ...

... ass - it's lobster poop you idiots! Oh well, we settle for awful roast beef and assorted fixins of poor to passable quality. But our server Bethany is a sweetie, and the blueberry pie ala mode saves the experience. Night doesn't finally come up here till 11pm, just as we arrive back at the homestead. Time for a few more laughs and hugs before the final night in Charlottetown. Here endeth the part of the trip I'll always cherish.

... it. I amused myself taking pictures of it and tried not to think about how AWFUL it must be in summer if they need that kind of infrastructure in such an apparently lonely place. 700 miles and about 5 minutes later I dragged into a leafy driveway that led to a HUGE car-park and waded across the tarmac. Did I mention it was fairly warm? Good grief. I had come with no intention of actually going into the house - I just wanted a quick look and a photo before going to the Avonlea theme ...

... day so it gave me an extra day to plan things. I headed up to Cavendish, where the popular author Maud Montgomery grew up and wrote the popular works "Anne of Green Gables" and "Anne of Avonlea. To be truthful none of this really interested me but there was a nice campsite in the area and only a short distance away from these famous attractions so I thought I would at least have a look while I was there. Once I had checked in (after calling ...

... a musical based on the 2nd and 3rd books of the Anne of Green Gables series. I actually loved these books growing up, and enjoyed the musical, cheesiness and all. Turns out that the musical was co-written by a teacher at Wexford high school, which is in Scarborough not too far from where I grew up. My mom also knew the guy playing Gilbert. <br><br>Summerside is a sleepy, adorable, town. I really enjoyed the boardwalk; it's very tidy, lots of the stores ...
