After battling with wind and rain yesterday we woke up to a beautiful sunny cloudless day with a perfect temperature for sightseeing. When we gathered for prayer at 9:00 a.m. Jan filled us in with information about Anne of Green Gables so that our visit would be more meaningful. To get to Prince Edward Island we had to cross the Confederation Bridge - 13 kilometers long. Very interesting and I had to admit made the Auckland and Sydney Harbour Bridges seem quite tame!! When we arrived at PEI we immediately visited the information bureau and gift shop. What a fabulous gift shop it was - and I couldn't resist picking up a little Anne of Green Gables collector doll for my latest Grand-daughter Katia. We all commented at how green and well-kept everything was there - actually very like New Zealand countryside. Don was the leader today (and that was very appropriate seeing Jan was the 'tour guide' of Green Gables)!! Well...somehow our directions got a little mixed up and we wondered if we would EVER arrive!! Well finally we did and I'll attach some photos for you to see. It was a highlight seeing Anne of Green Gables ..and watched a short movie and then toured around the Anne's house. Picked up some lunch and ate it in the grounds. Very lovely. Our RV Park isn't the best - Harrington RV park - but we all decided it was cheap so that was a plus!! A very dilapitated building greeted us and when I went later to use the Laundry the man told me not to leave the door open or the roof would blow off! Sue had been thinking about a Lobster dinner all day - so that is what we had and was it ever good. We found a wonderful restaurant that served Lobster overlooking the water. The only part I didn't like was it sitting on the plate looking at me!! I will never get over that I don't think. It's now midnight - laundry all done and looking forward to another exciting day tomorrow.
