Rodd Royalty Inn Hotel Charlottetown

We awake early after a rough stormy night at sea. Spray washed all the way onto our balcony up on Deck 11 but the ship must have a good crew and a good design as the trip is quite smooth. It is misty and trying to snow as we cruise past expensive house situated on the red sand beaches of PEI. We decided to check out an Anne shop, a knitting shop then a shopping centre. A large passenger facility is located immediately ...

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 ...

... B&amp;B hosts had invited us for supper, so we returned home from sightseeing for 6:00 PM supper. We were joined by Alana and Sergio (immigrants from Moldavia), a young couple who became friends with Ann &amp; Parnel (B&amp;B hosts) a year ago when they came to Canada. Over the past year, Ann &amp; Parnel have acted like parents to these young people, helping them settle into their new country and culture. They are both ...

... 8211; Charlottetown... Mike and Malcolm both had business to conduct in Charlottetown so we saddled up and went to town. Malcolm stopped at a liquor store to take some pictures so he could claim the trip as a business expense and then we went to the Charlottetown Mall to have a look-see. What we saw was pretty sad; not even an idyllic isle like PEI being immune to the recession it seemed. Anyway, Marlene managed to find a few articles of clothing to augment ...

Monday, September 14 &#8211; To Cavendish... Our time in Cape Breton came to an end today. We had an early breakfast at the Main Street Bakery and hit the road for the seven hour run to Prince Edward Island. Marlene had hoped to see some fall colour during her time in the east, but we saw little of anything except more trees as we made our way back down the Cape, across the Straight and over to the coast via a hard right turn at New Glasgow. <br><br>The motor vessel ...

There are many fun things to do along the way and we are doing exactly that. P.E.I. has so many services for tourists that it even makes doing laundry a pleasure.<br>Our last days on P.E.I are spent with Al and Barb.Their B.&amp;B. is giving us the feel of warm hospitality. We are not in a rush to leave this beautiful Province,The Gentle Island.

... the same time. I had - rather stupidly - considered but decided against taking my drivers licence because I thought I'd lose it. However, I'd forgotten that you need a drivers licence to rent a car - which I was doing in PEI! My brother Andrew was a total star and sent it express from Australia, which was meant to arrive 2-4 days after he posted it (Thursday afternoon Canada-time). Unfortunately, Canadian Customs took a liking to my ...

... it looked exactly like the street in Grosse Point Blank which Minnie Driver's radio station is on. Very quiet and hardly any cars. Not bad for a city centre on a weekday afternoon. Then I found the Anne of Green Gables shop. Good grief. And I thought the dancing 8 year olds were twee. Imagine a bookshelf full of Anne of Green Gables dolls, books, mugs, bookmarks, aprons, thimbles, patchwork quilts, figurines, pinafores and aprons, tea-sets, candles, t-shirts, cat beds, photo ...

Anticipating snowfalls in PEI (hey, it's September in Canada), we brought our shovel with us and took it everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I refused to pay for an extra seat on the plane and, after threatening to bonk the goat (pilot) in the cockpit, we were assured we could take it wherever we wanted. So we took it on the ferry between PEI and Nova Scotia (see shovel, upper left hand corner).

Drove from Moncton to Summerside, PEI. Stopped at Shediac, NB, on the way because my mom heard that there's a big lobster in Shediac. She likes big stuff. Hung out at Parlee beach in Shediac for a couple of hours before continuing on to officially enter the land of Anne of Green Gables. Crossed the Confederation Bridge and everything. Did you know the bridge has its own radio station filled with fun bridge facts? <br><br>Went to a production of "Anne and ...
