First impressions
- WOW the earth is RED! (Anne spoke of it!)
- Lovely LUPINS (I bought seeds to plant)
- A gentle and not so gentle breeze blew everyday
- Islanders are "kindred spirited"
- Aahhh ... smell the sea air
- So wonderful to be at the ocean (a distant memory from NZ)
- mmmmmmm yum ... LOBSTER!
- GREAT for families - we stayed in Cavendish
- Go early - mid-June when the tourism spots open, because peak season will be very busy
- It's a long way from Quebec city!
- We'll be back again (next year, I hope)
Must do's
- Read an LM Montgomery novel while you're on the island
- Enjoy a Lobster supper http://www.lobstersuppers.com
- Walk along the beach or boardwalk
- Go cycling
- Kayaking
- Toy Factory (for locally made wooden toys and a great selection of educational type wooden puzzles) http://www.toy-factory.ca
- Buy locally made preserves http://www.preservecompany.com
Sightly over-rated
- Cow's ice-cream (I thought it was more about their brand and merchandise than great tasting ice-cream ... sorry Cow's ... Tip Top from NZ is still #1 for me!)
- Too many Anne of Green Gables sites and memorabilia for my liking (better to enjoy LM Montgomery's books and use your imagination!)
