Prince Edward Island
After realising that it wasn't going to be possible to get a van in Nova Scotia we hired a car and drove up to Prince Edward Island somewhere Suz has always wanted to go since she was about 10!! Yes all because of 'Anne of Green Gables'.
We drove across the Conferation Bridge which connects the Island to the mainland. It was opened in 1987 and at 13km long is apparently the longest non-suspension bridge in the world. It was pretty amazing to drive across.
When we arrived on the Island we drove clockwise around the central part seeing all of the pretty ports and tiny villages. The scenery on the Island was fantastic, the earth is so red and there were potatoes growing everywhere.
We stopped at all of the 'Anne' sights, the birthplace of L M Montgomery, and for you 'Anne' readers: The Lake of Shining Waters, Silver Bush, Avonlea (which is actually the town of Cavendish, Green Gables,
where we saw Lovers Lane and The Haunted Wood. We had a great time and even Craig appreciated the beauty of the place. Even though I'm sure he felt a connection which the numerous guys we saw being taken around the sights by their female partners...
We stayed overnight in Charlottetown which is the largest town on the Island but in actual fact a tiny town the you could walk around in about 5 minutes.
Another interesting fact Lobster is the speciality dish and is dirt cheap.

Suz, so jealous but if I recall you were an even more avid reader of the whole Anne of Green Gables series than me, nice for you to finally make there though! AND secondly I can taste that lobster! I miss my Maine summmer days of cheap lobster, washed down nicely with a beer...
Still waiting for that Cook Strait bridge, so that we can spend an afternoon in the Marlborough Sounds.
