Reply #12: PEI is a very laid back sort of place. [View All]

We had made arrangements to rent a cottage from someone an aunt knew. Well, that was a huge mistake, the guy (not from PEI) was dishonest and we decided to just get there and find something LOL. So we did. We found a small cottage, part of a motel really, a motel with six little cottages off to the side. It was perfect for what we wanted. Anyway ... we spent our first day just driving around the Island and getting acquainted with where things are. We had taken the ferry from the mainland there was NO bridge at that time. We went to "Anne of Green Gables" home and thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour. Spent a fair bit of time on the grounds taking photos and relaxing. ( I have NO photos to share unfortunately my ex-husband has custody of ALL 'our' albums.) We also visited Lucy Maud Montgomery's resting place. Of course, being tourists we had to find a lobster dinner and find we did. I believe the restaurant we went to was called Fisherman's Wharf. All you can eat lobster and other seafood. We also found a local church that was having a lobster supper on a friday night so we horned right in lol.
We also took a deep sea fishing excursion, that was really a LOT of fun. They supply all the gear, raincoats etc and your out to see for about 4 hours if I remember correctly. One of the highlights of our trip was to Charlottetown PEI we had tickets to see the stage performance of Anne of Green Gables. If you're at all interested it's a must see.
No one moves fast on the Island, as I said it's very laid back. One thing though, when we were there the Green Gables homestead was VERY crowded with Chinese tourists. I guess "Anne" is quite a popular character in China. Something I didn't know.

If I think of more stuff, I'll post again ..

hope that helps.
