... 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.

... offen. Schade!
So beschlossen wir, direkt nach Charlottetown, Hauptstadt der kleinsten Provinz Kanadas, zu fahren.

Beim Campingplatz haben wir ein kanadisches Ehepaar aus British Columbia getroffen, welche sehr gesprächig waren. Vielleicht lag es auch an der Happy Hour....er hatte wohl schon ein paar Gin Tonics intus. Und sein Hund hiess Merlot! :-)

... was great and the scenery was perfect. We then headed to a beach where the sand dunes are acctually in very good condition and protected. This was the first beach I have seen where it could have been Western Australia. We headed over the Confederation bridge and back to Halifax. We all went out that night in town to the Shoe Shop and listened to live music. 28th August 2007 - Peggys Cove & Annapolis Royal Four of us from the original ...

... The sand dunes were big - seen bigger at home though - but the red red rocks were very different. We went paddling in the sea and walked along the beach but not for too long as it was raining a little. The beach was actually part of the National Park up there and there were a number of trails too - it was just too wet. We raced back to Charlottetown and purchased tickets to the theatre. Well I finally found out who Anne of ...
