On Thursday, August 27th, we arrived in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island which is known as the Green Gables shore. In Cavendish we stayed at Marco Polo Land which is a very large RV park right near town.

This stop  was going to be a week long stay if the internet was reliable at the motor home since there was a nice kid’s area.  Zachary and Carson enjoyed the bouncing pillow at the campground and the playground that was across the street from our site.

We took the bikes to the closest national park location and parked to venture on a 12.5 mile bike ride on a paved trail called Gulf Shore Way along the coast; this ride took us about 4 hours since the beginning of the ride we had the wind blowing against us as we rode.

The Cavendish area is famous for being home to Lucy Maud Montgomery who wrote the Anne of Green Gables book series.  Since the Lucy Maud Montgomery museum was included in our national parks ticket we visited and saw the house, farmland and woods that inspired so many scenes in the Anne of Green Gables books and movies. The visit was cut short by a message that our website was down so the last part of the walking trail through the woods was accelerated.

While in Cavendish Polly and I had the rare opportunity to go out to eat.  The campground had a restaurant on site so we left the boys in the motorhome and went to eat at the restaurant a few feet away.  It was nice to spend a few minutes alone.

We had a thunderstorm and high winds the last night we were in Cavendish and experienced the motor home rocking; although Polly was the only one who noticed everyone else slept through the rocking and swaying.  Since the internet was not reliable and we needed to catch up on some neglected emails we decided to move on to another area of the island. This move will also allow us to be closer to the Confederation Bridge that will take us off Prince Edward Island on our way to Quebec.
