View from our campsite near Charlottetown.
Most interesting campsite we had yet!!!
These were the outhouses for the tent campers. The comfort station for the hook-up sites were a step up.Before we left, we called the CRC church in Charlottetown for directions and time. We asked them to pass on the greetings from Al and Brenda, which they did. After church, we took some pictures of some of the folks that remembered the Bron family. Will email these to them. In the parking lot, while talking to a couple, Immy grabbed me and pulled me out of the way of a car that was backing up. The 87 year old lady smiled and waved at us. She did not realize what almost happened. [[Thanks, Immy]]
After lunch we motored to the famous "Avonlea, Anne of Green Gables Village" in Cavendish. Avonlea is a fictional village that is set around the famous novel, Anne of Green Gables that was written by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Her childhood revolved around the farming communities of Prince Edward Island and Avonlea was inspired by her life while growing up here.
The Green Gables House (Cavendish): This house is the house LMM was thinking of when she wrote her famous book. It was where her MacNeill cousins lived. The Green Gables house used in the Anne movies was actually two distinct buildings, both privately owned and both located in Southern Ontario. The reason for choosing these houses (aside from their visual appeal) was because most of the principle filming was done in Southern Ontario, and since the Cavendish Green Gables is constantly in use as a tourist attraction, it was inaccessible to be used as a movie set.

They were on the island for their holidays in a cottage, but missed them by a few days.
While driving the North Cape Coastal route to our next campsite, {are you ready for the next line???} the quarter panel on the side of the motor home was flapping--no problem--fixed with bungee cords. Good thing, we have lots. Hope we don't run out of them though.

The walking path on the picture lead to the ocean. First thing we did was check out the beach views.
Brand new beach treasures to find and collect. The sand has a beautiful red color to it. Sure sticks to the shoes though. Did a few extra sweeps in the motor home while here.
Very picturesque, but not as rugged as Nfld.
Immy and Peter making supper for us. Sunny with no wind, so enjoyable to be outdoors.

Love that red dirt road!
