Woot! Managed to get an extra hour's sleep today. :'D slept in until 7:15~ went down for breakfast as usual. Except... the place was so small! D: There were only 4 chairs against one long table... that was against the wall. The good news is that there were eggs to eat! ;D So I enjoyed y fruit loop cereal that I had for 3 mornings straight again and then ate my scrumptious egg! We also saw this other Chinese family from Ontario! We were like "a Chinese family from Ontario! We should say hi" but of course... LOL we didn't.

| IT'S FLOATING OKAY?! D8 |
I'd say we left our hotel at around 8:15 and started off to PEI, which took about 2 hours to get to. The trip isn't as long compared to when we went to other places, but it was still long! But alas, we saw it! The confederation bridge that takes from from New Brunswick to PEI. (8 It's REALLY long and occasionally you'd see seagulls floating at the side of the bridge. I think they're trying to fly. They look like it, but they also look like they're hardly moving. Just floating and gliging at the side. I thought it was cute though.I took a picture of the license plates in PEI. They have pictures on them! D8 that's cool. (: but omgsh I saw one from Alberta! Kudos to that person for driving so far! I will show you guys the picture of the license plate tomorrow because it's getting late now. Of course, I'll blur out the letters and numbers. That will take some time too. XD So wait up! :)
We decided to stop by the gift shops at the front of the confederation bridge at the PEI side.There was an Anne of the Green Gable statue outside with a large stuffed lobster! I named him Larry. (: Larry the Lobster. He's cute. XD his back and the part behind his claws are really red. The original colour he's supposed to be, before the sun took the colour out of him. D: Lol, anyway, we bought a few things. Some things I wonder why my parents bought but doesn't matter. It was pretty cheap anyway. I saw these... shells called the Sand Dollar. The story behind these shells were really interesting, so I bought two. Because I wanted to see how it looked cracked. Apparently they said if you crack it open, there will be 5 replicas of some dove. the funny part while we were in the gift shop was that suddenly there was this sea of Asian people coming in through the back. My parents and I were like "EH?!" and then we figured it was from the tour bus outside. And all they bought were the potato chips. the people are the store had to go and get more boxes of the chips. Some people even took 4 or 5 bags of these... chips. Wonder why they came only for the chips... but because we saw them buy it, we bought it too, wondering why they bought i! ;D And well........ they aren't bad! :)
But enough time at the gift shops! We had to get going to Charlottetown!! So we left and on the way there, we saw some red things on the road, so my dad was like "Hey! What's what? OH! They're crabs!" then my mom was like "oh my gos they're crabs!" I didn't really see much but it did look a bit like crabs. But my dad started laughing and told my mom he was joking and that they were tree bark.... things. My mom went silent and dad started laughing again. LoL well, it was pretty funny. (:
My parents saw a sign that would lead you to Victoria on the sea. So they took the time to change directions and straighted to Victoria. When we were able to see the sea, we got out of the car and dear goodness the smell. x.x" It smelled like the sea, which technically was. P: But you could see the soil. t was red as well! To be honest, PEI's soil is all red. So it's not just New Brunswick. They're products and grass and trees seem really healthy too! Hmmmmm. Could it be because of the red soil? ;o maybe....
We went to downtown in Charlottetown. And you can forget the person who came from Alberta. Well, not really.... but I found someone who came from BRITISH COLUMBIA! My goodness. anyway, the traffic light in PEI is so different from Ontario. The red lights are squares, the yellow is a rhombus and the green is just a circle. And it's horizontal too! Now, why don't we have something like that? It's all circles. Che. The bus is cute too! It's not like those city buses... The buses here are pretty much like those trolley cars. ;o I saw a green one too. It was ALL green. Looked like some vegetable. P: Tat's not all, I also saw the horse carriage thing. I know I know, there's a whole bunch of those everywhere too, but whatever! D: the horse was pretty. I wanted to take a picture of the horse. :)
Again, the place we parked was really near the city hall and beside it was a fire hall. But the unique part was that they displayed the old fire truck of Charlottetown! And man, it looked good. BD smoking hot red firetruck. Well, no not really smoking hot red but close enough. Wanna know how the garbage looks in PEI? ;o yeah. (: it looks neat. XD as in neat and neat. :)
For lunch, we ate hot dog! This isn't really the normal hot dog you'd eat at home or find in Toronto downtown. this was like... some other random type of hot dog. I got the normal bun, but they had those pita ones too. My parents ate those instead. The hot dog was pretty good. It tasted a little sweet, but that's what was hinted in the name of the sausage anyway. But you know what I noticed after walking around downtown? that many people here are quite tall; both genders. Maybe I should come here and get a boyfriend when I'm older. ;D LOL, I'm kidding.
And thennnnnnnnnnnn. We visited the local market. Some farmer's market thing. It was pretty small inside, but there was a variety of things inside. They sold food, flowers, accessories, and other things. They coolest thing inside was probably the framed rocks. What's so cool about rocks again? Didn't take a picture but they created a picture using rocks. It was so unique and very inspiring. With rocks, they made bunnies and drew trees around. There was also a family one, small rocks as heads and larger rocks as body. I'm not sure if it's worth it, but they were $90. There was one that was $200 and it was sold when I saw it. I guess in a way it's worth it since it's not something someone comes up with so often. But still. $90? P:
Then we went to some........ I actually don't quite know what it is. It's like, another seafood market. There's this mini store, it's more like a fishing boat trip where they take you out for 3 hours to fish and you get to keep all the fish you and them catch. It's a pretty good deal. They usually catch mackerels. But no, we didn't take it. What are we going to do with the fishes? We can't really cook it since we're in a hotel thing. Bring it home? pshhhhhh. It'll go bad by the time we get home. I saw many seagulls lined up though. |
| picture of a picture. couldn't get a real one. |
After checking in, we left the hotel again and headed for the place you HAVE to go to when you come to PEI; Green Gable! When I was younger, I always thought that 'Anne of Green Gable' was like... American or English. Never did I think it was from Canada. XD But yeah, it was a beautiful place. :) It's like.... a dream come true to see the REAL place of Green Gable. I've always loved the cartoon version of Anne of Green Gable you'd find on TV. I actually don't know the real story behind it, but I bought the book from their gift shop so I shall read it and find out! And maybe read the other books..... from the library. They also had the barn and the woods! Ohhhh, the woods. (: It wasn't as creepy looking as it sounds, but LOL, whatever. I find it so hard to imagine that I managed to see the Green Gable. *0* I wonder how she actually looked. P: I meant her face, i know she had red braided hair with a straw hat. But I wonder how tall she was, how her face looked.... It's all too long ago though. But we got lucky. (: before leaving, we were able to take a picture with some random fake Anne of Green Gable. [You can't fool meh! D;] I also managed to get myself 2 mosquito [i think] bites on my head when i went in the trails. ): We bought this.... Raspberry Cordial drink. Anne of Green Gable brand. ;D I'm not sure what's so famous about it though. LOOL, whether they drank it when they were alive or some random other information. Parents didn't enjoy it though, said it tasted like medicine. I thought it was pretty good! Fizzy. :)
BUT THE GOOD PART FOR TODAY. Ohhhh, our restaurant lobster dinner at "Fisherman's Wharf Lobster Suppers". It was fresh. Expensive, but definitely fresh. The place was decorations in the place was beautiful too! Like, omgsh. (: lodge-y. The main course; lobster. Better than what we ate last night. By a lot. The person selling the ready cooked lobster said the lobsters were fresh. I don't think they're actually fresh. They had a lot of water in it, and hardly and meat. The lobsters at the restaurant was the real deal! Best restaurant in PEI! I'm exaggerating. But our old neighbour recommended that place since her mom was born in PEI and they'd go back to PEI once in a while. | |
| the free buffet part. :) |
 |
| lobster's not free. ;A; |
Anyway, came back to our hotel and took a shower. I think it's the people above us, but JEEZ. D8 they are LOUD. They keep walking around and their walks are heavy. you could hear every step they took and when they stop.
Time to sleep!
Jacqueline out.
