Lobster Shanty - Cottages, Motel, Restaurant & Lounge 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.

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 ...

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

Im kleinen Fischerdörfchen North Rustico Harbour machten wir am Mittag einen Zwischenhalt. Leider war hier, wie an vielen Orten auf der Insel, bereits fast alles geschlossen. Die Hauptsaison ist ...

... 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! :-)

Environment Canada had said that today was to be rainy (they blew it again), so we had decided that it would be a good opportunity to do an oil change on the truck and do laundry (we are starting to recycle clothes). Headed into Charlottetown and Brian dropped me at the Laundromat. I love Laundromats - you can get your laundry done so fast and there is always such an interesting ...

... 8217;s golfing sweetheart Lori Kane – in Charlottetown, so we headed back down there on Friday morning. Belvedere is a good old-fashioned golf club with tree-lined fairways and civilized greens. Very refreshing after the rigors of the two Links courses we had been on. The only problem was that it advertises itself as "the home of the four hour round" and being a group of physically compromised duffers who were new to the layout, we were more on to the ...

Today was an amazing day because we didn't do much, we relaxed and chilled. Due to my run the previous day I can barely walk today so I decided I was going to stay in bed all day. First thing the girls all went and got some breaky. Colette and heidi hit the pool shortly after while dad and I lazed about in bed. When the girls got back they got ready to go do some shopping, pick up some games and water toys. While they were gone dad and I played ...

... part). Afterwards I went to have dinner (a PEI-beef cheeseburger) afterwards in Victoria Row, where the waitress correctly picked my accent and gave me some recommendations on good beaches to go! Tomorrow I'll go to the museum where some of Lucy Maud Montgomery's manuscripts are displayed, then I will meander North to Cavendish (aka Avonlea, for the Anne of Green Gables fans playing along at home). More soon... __________________________

Such a whirlwind, Canada, France, and then back to Canada! Got a van ride to the Wood Islands ferry, then had to get another van ride to Charlottetown, or "town" as they call it since it is the only one really. This place feels different, mostly because it has agriculture, lots of potatoes, or as they say it "pudaydos" nova scotia is all woods, newfoundland all rocks and bog, and here it is ...

Settled in and the 3 girls crashed in Shane parents' living room. Lots of bugs flying around: moths, mosquitos, etc. Headed to Charlottetown to explore. Explored the waterfront: Peake's Wharf (Cow's ice cream) & shared a lobster with Donna. Walked around Founders' Hall ...
