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 ...

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.

Vor dem Leuchtturm haben wir auch unseren ersten Fuchs gesehen! Fotogen war er dazu auch noch!

Montague war unser heutiges Endziel. Morgen verlassen wir die Insel und nehmen die Fähre nach Nova Scotia.

... nse machen sich für den Abflug Richtung Süden bereit und sammeln sich. Wieviele Gänse angeflogen kamen, wissen wir nicht, es waren seeeeehr viele!

... wielded the weapon on preceding greens). It eventually ran off after Anna gave it the remaining half of her sandwich. At the eighteenth green, where two women were putting out, a band of crows had descended on their golf cart and were looking for snacks. They found a large green apple and began pecking away at it in earnest.

... which was very convenient considering how bloody heavy my bag is! I hate it already lol. Our tour guide is Kathryn and we have 14 people on the tour, all piled in to the one van (Josee) and our luggage on the roof rack. There’s a couple from England, Caitlin and Matt; some Canadians, Dan, Brett and Greg; a Dutch guy, Eric; an Irish guy, Richard; three Japanese girls, Nariko, Yoko and Chika; two sisters from Denmark, Gitte and Camilla; another Aussie girl, Lee; and me ...

... Memory fades but I picked up my axe and jammed to more mind blistering viewing. Andrea returned a few hours later and her roommate, herself and myself hooked up some instruments and had a good ol fashioned jam. Beautiful music was had! I awoke the next morning ready for a jaunt, she took me to her work for a breakfast bagel on the house and many goodbyes and thankyous and back to it. The road is my home.

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?

Went to a production of "Anne and ...
