Prince Edward Island is best known for potatoes, lobsters and Anne of Green Gables. We are headed to the town of Cavendish where the story of Anne of Green Gables was written.
We are hoping to go there on Sunday.
A long day of riding in the car and not going very far.
We headed out to take the Coastal Road that is along the Northumberland Strait Coast.
We traveled for over 4 hours and if we would have gone direct it only took 25 minutes. The ride was beautiful the coast is just something. We saw lots and lots of lobster boats and a ton of buoys in the water (lobster pots). The cliffs here are unbelievable. A little scary, but great for pictures. Our lesson for the day was trying to figure out their signs. Everything is in pictures and some of them took us a few minutes to figure out. The best was the car falling off the cliff. We figured that one at really fast.
Found another lighthouse here and decided they all look the same.

We came upon a Winery that was right on the coast and they had some really nice wines. We even stopped at a liquor store and bought PEI potato vodka. Can't wait to try it.
We stopped in a little town called Montague for lunch ate outside right along the water. Food was delicious and just sitting there watching the inlet with the lobster boats was really enjoyable.
We rode over to see the ferry to take to Nova Scotia and asked about the ferry from there to Bar Harbour and low and behold they don't run it anymore. We are now changing around our travel plans a little. We will be going to Nova Scotia by car and then coming back and traveling from here. Not sure what route yet; but sure the tour director will figure it out.
We bought some lobsters off a boat at the wharf and cooked them for dinner had too many so we cleaned them and put the meat in the freezer. We will certainly enjoy it when we get back home.
The weather here is surprisingly warm; it has been in the 70's all week. Everyone here says this is very unusual for this time of year.
Well enough for today, a cup of tea and a good book await.
