This is a place I’d dreamed about ever since reading the Anne of Green Gables stories, and I was so happy to have the chance to visit! It was quite easy to get around, whether by car, bicycle or on foot. And the best part was that I had enough time to thoroughly explore the island. Here’s some of what I saw.

I love Anne of Green Gables! I actually recently purchased the PBS (BBC?) production on dvd. I convinced Dave to watch the first one with me, and then had to acknowledge that they get a little sunk into itself after that. I still love the book series and imagining PE Island. Thanks for sharing your photos – and congrats on winning that that book on the other blog! Was pleased to see your blog name there!

I had Anne of Green Gables in mind when I was in PEI, so I’m glad you were reminded of the books! To get there you’d be flying into Charlottetown, which would be a commuter flight from someplace like Boston, New York, or Montreal. I drove to PEI from the Boston area and it took about ten hours…
