Noah and Wes were bursting to go back to the Kids Kamp and were completely ready for the 9 am starting time.
I used my spare time to go for a lovely run back past Green Gables and up to the Green Gables Post Office.
A run back to the Cavendish Cemetery were both Lucy Montgomery’s grandparents and herself are buried. A run back into the National Park to have one last look at the wild apple trees and then back to the campground.
And back in time to tidy the motorhome and leave by the 11 am checkout.
This was also the time to collect the boys from Kids Kamp and to say that they had an absolute ball would be an understatement. The retired school teachers that took the activity were brilliant, with endless energy and enthusiasm.
The Cavendish KOA has been one of the friendliest campsites we have stayed in.
Time to continue the Anne of Green Gables Sightseeing Tour. One of the remaining tourist spots we needed to tick off was The Anne of Green Gables Museum, which also included the Lake of Shining Waters.
Although, there is a debate on exactly which lake in the Cavendish area is the exact inspiration for the Lake of Shining Waters. Possibly all of them.
After arriving at the museum the boys and I lined up to pay our entrance fee (Pete is going to skip this one). The line was long, not moving and unorganised. Hence, I decided to miss the home and just enjoy the grounds, gardens and Lake of Shining Waters. I was probably still supposed to pay for this, however, on this occasion, it was not going to happen.
The historic Island property was owned by Lucy Montgomery’s Uncle John and Aunt Annie Campbell and was the site she chose for her wedding on July 5th, 1911. It is a beautiful spot and as Lucy Maud Montgomery herself described “a big white beautiful house smothered in orchards that was the wonder castle of my childhood”.
Prince Edward Island would have to be one of the prettiest places I have ever been to. I never want to leave…
Until it gets cold, I believe the winters here are extreme.
Before we left the motorhome to the museum Noah had discovered that he had left his favourite hat at the Kids Kamp. This was a sign. The boys had enjoyed their couple of days so much at the KOA that it was only fair to give them another night.
We jumped into the motorhome and returned to the Cavendish KOA. The boys will have another morning at the Kids Kamp and we will have another two hours on our own.
The evening ended with a Wagon Ride and Scavenger Hunt. Noah and Wes were thrilled, they won the scavenger hunt!
