Earl of Green Gables, Day 14: The Penultimate Day

We bid a sad farewell to Charlottetown this day, with a sad dearth of photos of the quaint architecture. This apartment building was pretty striking, and  snapped a shot with my SLR, but most of my Charlottetown images are captured on my GoPro. I'll strip the footage for stills at a later date.

For this, our final night in Atlantic Canada, we stayed in the cheapest hotel at the Halifax airport we could find. The room was...old, but the restaurantès food was surprisingly good.

For example, this gingerbread cake was excellent. 

Earl of Green Gables, Day 13: Points East and Cavendish

We started our day with a short drive to the eastern shore of Prince Edward Island, stopping in this potato field because a bee flew in through the sun roof and landed in my lap.

The red sand of Prince Edward Island is quite arresting. This is a beach at Souris.

This is the lighthouse at Souris.

A view of part of Souris from the lighthouse.

Obligatory lighthouse selfie.

And here's the East Point Lighthouse, located at the eastern tip of the island.

Another obligatory lighthouse selfie.

We then headed northwest, seeking Anne of Green Gables. Signs like this led us there.

We made it! This is the homestead where Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote Anne of Green Gables.

Earl of Green Gables, Day 12: Day of Rest

On this day, Sylvia and I really needed a break from the constant driving, so we spent most of the day lounging in or around our hotel room.

I really didn't have a solid grasp of the immense size of cruise ships until I saw a few up close this trip. 

Earl of Green Gables, Day 11: Charlottetown Shuffle

Prince Edward Island is simply gorgeous, as is its charming capital, Charlottetown. We splurged on a fancy seaside hotel, and the views and the amenities were so very worth it.

For some reason, the hotel upgraded us to a seaside-view room. You wouldn't think that makes a huge difference, but boy, was it cool to relax on the recliner and watch cruise ships come in.

Cows serves astounding ice cream.
