There are two ways to get to Prince
Edward Island (PEI) with an RV, via ferry or over the approximately 8-mile long
Confederation Bridge. We took the ferry over (it is huge!) and left via
the bridge. Located in the region traditionally known as the
Maritimes, it is part of Atlantic Canada. Much of
PEI consists of rural communities, fishing villages, and farms known for growing
potatoes and other products. The view of the horses below is taken through
our windshield from our spot in the campground. Did I say the beaches are
also spectacular. This is one place we are sure we will come back to visit
again.

PEI was home to world famous author, Lucy Maud
Montgomery, creator of Anne of Green Gables. Her stories of the area
convey an image of the island that draws 350,000 visitors a year to the
Green Gables House, now an Historic Site. We visited there and on
a drive along a scenic route we happened upon Woodleigh Replicas and
Gardens, a British Theme Park
covering 45 acres with 30 replicas of the most spectacular castles and
cathedrals of the British Island. Included are replicas of the Tower of
London, Dunvegal Castle in Scotland, Yorkminster and St. Paul's cathedrals.
