We had a very unusual breakfast buffet in the hotel this morning. Instead of eating at tables, we carried out plates to lounge chairs in the lobby and the staff set up TV trays for us! Despite the strange seating, we all managed to get something to eat and soon our van arrived to take us on our North Shore sightseeing tour.
Our driver wound us through Charlottetown and pointed out the major sites. Next, we left the city and drove about 40 minutes to PEI National Park, home of Cavendish and Anne of Green Gables. Roland & I took the kids on a hike around the nature trails while Michele & Sandy toured the Green Gables exhibits. The weather was fantastic again today and we had a nice time strolling around.
Next, we got back in the van and drove to the nearby village of North Rustico. The boys had a great time skipping stones in the ocean and running around the dunes. On the way back to town, we stopped in at PEI preserves (jelly & jam store), but it was swamped with tourists from the cruise ship, so we didn’t stay long.
Soon, it was time to head back to town. After lunch, everybody went back to the hotel to relax, but I was restless. I grabbed my camera and headed out for a walk around town. I ended up walking all around Victoria Park and back, which took about 2 hours.
Tonight, we went to the Anne of Green Gables musical. We had dinner nearby and then walked next door to the theater. I think we all enjoyed the show.
Tomorrow, we leave Charlottetown for the French Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. I have been warned that the island is small and the hotel is rustic. Hopefully, I’ll be able to update the blog. If not, the next update will be from Halifax on Friday 9/25.
