Quality Inn on the Hill 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 ...

... hosts. It was lovely for walking and we soaked up the ambience of an old harbour now well past it&#8216;s heyday.<br><br>Had lunch at &#8216;Leonhard&#8217;s&#8217; - a restaurant recommended by our B&amp;B hosts. It is owned by a young German couple who came to PEI a few years ago for an English immersion experience and found that they got so attached to the province that they had to stay. They are renowned for their ...

... distance away. When she realized what was going on the owner of the apple began shooing the birds away. One crow picked up the apple, which must have weighed as much as the bird did, and tried to fly off with it in its beak. It was very funny to watch it madly flapping away, struggling in vain to gain altitude with this load. Eventually it gave up and dropped the apple. The owner regarded her snack dejectedly then picked it up and put it in a nearby garbage ...

... Haunted Woods and Balsam Hollow, which I capitalize because they are virtually sacred ground to the millions of young readers who are enchanted by the story. The entrance fee includes a visit to the site of the farmhouse where Miss Montgomery lived with her grandparents and where she wrote the Anne and other stories. This &#8220;National Historic Site&#8221; - if you can believe it - features well-tended gardens and signage posted here and there that cite passages ...

... the person in the bunk above me came in at like 2.50 and was so noisy and took ages to get sorted. Plus I got back fairly late as well and had been drinking a bit. Anyway the scenery on the ride was beautiful&#8212;rolling hills, red sand beaches, marshes, dunes, fields, wildflowers, cute little bridges. However it was so hot, even though the path was mostly flat it was quite hard to keep going towards the end. Glad I did it though. Then we visited Green Gables, the setting for ...

We didn´t do much justice to PEI. We arrived via the Confederation Bridge and kind of just drove through the island the next day. Saw the Province House in Charlottetown, where the fathers of confederation met to discuss a united Canada. On our way to the camp site near the Wood Island Ferry, we stopped at Rossignol Winery ...

... I noticed an intriguing looking sign 'No White Dogs' which appeared to be a clothing shop. I quickly discovered the world's most expensive t-shirts. The dirt on PEI is red and stains anything it touches - so enterprising locals make a fortune dying t-shirts and sweatshirts with it and flogging it to tourists. Each item even comes with a little bag of mud to prove it's real. Or something. Needless to say I didn't indulge. Outside a small crowd had gathered and closer inspection ...

... 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.
