After the wedding, we bade a very teary goodbye to our new family in St Pierre and flew over to Halifax, Nova Scotia. We staying in some very flash B n Bs and made our way over to Cape Breton to drive around the Cabot Trail, a stunning coastal road around woodland, cliffs and beaches with some really interesting wildlife and plant life to see along the way. In retrospect, it seemed like a lot of eating, driving and comfortable B n B sleeping all around the Eastern aspect of Nova Scotia! After this we headed to Prince Edward Island, home of Anne of Green Gables. After leaving it a bit late, we found a lovely A-frame cottage to stay in on a Dairy Farm just up the road from the 'Avonlea' village. We visited this the next day - a lot of the buildings had been relocated there from places that Lucy Maud Montgomery had lived and probably based scenes in the book upon. It was very nicely done, you can wonder around the village, and there is a little cast of actors who re-enact key scenes from the book (sounds cheesy, but you get into it when you're there!)
We visited the REAL green Gables, known to be where the Green Gables of the book was based on and saw the haunted wood and lover's lane (very exciting if you've read the book, and if you haven't, you should!).
A long drive over a 9 mile bridge took us back to Halifax airport to fly to Manchester on the 7 of July, my 27th birthday!
