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>

Die Insel hat drei 'Rundfahrten' zu bieten. Den North Cape Coastal Drive, welche wie der Name sagt, den Norden der Insel abdeckt. Den Central Coastal Drive, für die Mitte sowie den East Coastal Drive für den Osten. <br><br>Wir machten uns auf den Weg, um den East Coastal Drive zu erkunden. Als erstes legten wir bei Greenwich National Park einen Stopp ein. Dieser ist er seit 1998 Teil des Nationalparkes. Der Dünenweg wurde uns im Reiseführer empfohlen. Die Holzplankenwege f ...

We agree these are the finest mussels either of us have tasted, far superior to our western mussels.<br><br>We all dined at the Gahan House, a microbrewery in Charlottetown on what else but mussels and seafood linguine, fabulous! Good company, good beer, good food what more is there?<br><br>October 1, 2009<br><br> We bid farewell to Ann, Rusty and Jasper after a wonderful respite and hope to see Ann again, on the west ...

... appeal to some so we just retraced the steps we had taken the day before. One item of interest lay in a Norwegian Lines cruise ship, maybe the same one we had seen in Halifax, that was tied up to the wharf when we arrived. Shortly thereafter it left port, spinning on its axis as it turned 180º and headed out to sea. Mike went down to have a closer look and reported that the stern of this huge vessel was not more than twenty feet from the dock as it swung past ...

... 23) that features a sixty foot-long salad bar and is very popular with the tour-bus crowd. We supped on mussels, lobster, snow crab and other more plebeian fare and pronounced it "good".<br><br><br>Tuesday, September 15 &#8211; Anne in Cavendish... This morning marked the arrival of Luigi. He was also known as Giuseppe or Antonio, depending on his mood. To explain, Mike awoke today with the urge to express himself as his Italian alter ego. He would go on for ...

... though which is understandable. We&#8217;ve had a lot of conversations about how we all call different things by different names. Sometimes we just don&#8217;t understand each other! It makes for a good laugh.<br><br>8pm Friday 20/8<br><br>Thursday we had to get up early and have the bus packed and ready to leave at 7.20 and we did well- I think we left at about 7.35. It was off to Prince Edward Island! We had to drive for a while and then catch a ferry at 10.30 which took ...

... bag, guitar, hungy lookin. We chatted a few minutes, he needed a string etc. Turns out the guy was from Calgary and had done the exact same thing as me. So we paired up, criminals in cahoots we were. With my bread and his peanut butter we made mean PB sandwhiches. We decided to check out all the local shelters for a place to crash for the night, no luck. We proceded down to the supermarket where he'd met someone who might've been able to put us up for the night. No dice. We mosied to ...

... a mix of lobster, mayo and celery. The coleslaw on the side was pretty nice but I wasn't that impressed. It just seemed a bit boring really. It was accompanied by the world's worst tasting water (Gill will vouch for that I'm sure), and I ate it all watching the National Chowder Championships. People kept coming up and asking me where I'd got lobster and I didn't like to insult anyone by telling them not to bother. For all I knew it could have been the local delicacy - but I ...

... me who seem to take all-you-can-eat literally!!) I will have to hit the gym when I get back. The food is much better in P.E.I. This observation was confirmed by talking to a few other travellers who had similar bad food experience in New Brunswick. Tomorrow, we are going to check out downtown Charlottetown, which should take about half of a day. I think I will sleep in, and check out the Farmers' Market across the street from UPEI. Until tomorrow then!

... 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 ...
