The ocean was much warmer then home. I was rather surprised stepped into the water, (only feet away from our Buggie site) and feeling the refreshing, gentle water splashing across my ankles and onto the red sand behind.
The island, tiny as it is, was filled with caches. Bob and mum cached every day we were on the island, not even making a dent in them. Most of the caches were in huge trails, as they'd call them (The Confederation Trail had a cache every 180 meters or so...) and although these trails and strings of caches were interesting, the ones I enjoyed most were the single caches put out off the beaten path. We found one in a tiny little cemetery with graves dating back to the early 1800s, another cache was at a lighthouse with views off high cliffs and seabirds nesting on them. We walked on an old road going through acres of potato plants on the way the that one.
Here're the cliffs.
Mum and I visited the Anne of Green Gables historic site, well Bob went caching. We spent the afternoon exploring the property. We had raspberry cordial, talked with Anne, and of course read some of the novel. Then bus loads of Japanese tourists piled in so we made a break for it.
It's Anne!
Almost everyday on the island we enjoyed a cone of Cow's ice cream, and if you've never tried it before, I'd highly recommend it. It was amazing (we even toured their ice cream and t-shirt plant).
We spent one afternoon in Charlottetown, where mum and I found an adorable knitting store, and bought thrummed mittens, it took us forever to decide on a colour...

Red mittens!
I really can't think of much else we did on the island... It was just so adorable and scenic, very relaxing and gentle. It was the perfect break from the cities.
