Day 1

Red Coach Inn, Buffalo Avenue, Niagara Falls, NY, USA
Niagara Falls, NY, USA

We stayed overnight at the Red Coach Inn, where they filmed parts of The Office.

Day 2

Welland Canal, Ontario, Canada
Old Country Inn, Unionville, Markham, ON, Canada
Old Firehall Confectionery, Main Street Unionville, Markham, ON, Canada

The canal was boring for me but my husband loved watching the boats go through the locks. We then drove to Unionville to see Gilmore Girls filming locations – worth it, cute town with good food. Stayed by the Toronto airport.

Day 3

The Chip Shack, Great George Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
Peakes Quay Marina, Great George Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
St. Dunstan's Basilica Cathedral, Great George Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
Great George Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
Victoria Row, Richmond Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
Beaconsfield Historic House, Kent Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada
The Harbour House, Grafton Street, Charlottetown, PE, Canada

Flew to Prince Edward Island. Walked around downtown and had a good lunch at The Chip Shack. Walked down all the famous streets and saw an Anne of Green Gables Musical at the Confederation Centre. Stayed at the Harbour House.

Day 4

Victoria, Prince Edward Island, PE, Canada
Island Chocolates, Main Street, Victoria, PE, Canada
Confederation Bridge, Confederation Bridge, Borden-Carleton, Prince Edward Island, Canada
Canadian Potato Museum & Antique Farm Machinery Museum, Dewar Lane, O'Leary, PE, Canada
West Point Lighthouse Inn & Museum, Cedar Dunes Park Road, O'Leary, Prince Edward Island, Canada
Chez Yvonne's, Prince Edward Island 6, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
Cavendish Boardwalk, Cavendish Road, Hunter River, PE, Canada
Kindred Spirits Inn & Cottages, Memory Lane, New Glasgow, PE, Canada

We drove around to a lot of small towns. Victoria by the Sea is cute but lots of bugs. Have to go to the potato museum. The Lighthouse is one of the most famous spots on the island – worth spending some time there. The boardwalk is probably more lively in the summer, just so-so.

Day 5

Green Gables Heritage Place, Cavendish Road, Cavendish, PE, Canada
Avonlea Village, Prince Edward Island 6, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
Cape Tryon Lighthouse, Cape Tryon Road, French River, PE, Canada
Anne of Green Gables Museum at Silver Bush, Park Corner Lane, Kensington, PE, Canada
Mariner's Cove Boardwalk, Cavendish Road, North Rustico, PE, Canada
North Rustico Beach, Beach Lane, North Rustico, PE, Canada
Blue Mussel Cafe, Harbourview Drive, North Rustico, PE, Canada
Stanley Bridge, Prince Edward Island, Canada

If you’re a fan of Anne of Green Gables, you have to visit the sites. North Rustico Beach was beautiful and the Blue Mussel Cafe is phenomenal – eat there.

Day 6

Hostetter's Viewscape, Prince Edward Island 20, Green Gables, PE, Canada
Thunder Cove Beach, Lot 18, PE, Canada
The College of Piping and Celtic Performing Arts Centre, Water Street East, Summerside, PE, Canada

Cavendish Lobster Shack, Cavendish Road, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
Prince Edward Island Preserve Company, New Glasgow Road, New Glasgow, PE, Canada
DogBoat Tours & Charters, Prince Edward Island 6, Stanley Bridge, PE, Canada

Hostetter’s Viewscape is a must-see. The beaches are some of the most unique I’ve ever seen, with red sand and cliffs. There are lots of unique shops and restaurants, and you have to have a lobster supper while you’re there (unlimited mussels).

Took the sunset tour by Dog Boat Tours – highly recommend. The waves were too high for us to go in the open water but the inlets were still great.

Day 7

North Rustico Beach, Beach Lane, North Rustico, PE, Canada
Greenwich National Park, Wild Rose Road, Saint Peters Bay, PE, Canada
Point Prim Chowder House and Oyster Bar, Point Prim Road, Belfast, PE, Canada
Point Prim Lighthouse, Point Prim Road, Belfast, PE, Canada
COWS Creamery, Milky Way, Charlottetown, PE, Canada

The National Park was a long but rewarding walk to the beach. Highly recommend the chowder house and a stop at the lighthouse. The best ice cream in the world is cows creamery. We walked around the museum and ate as much as possible.

Flew back the next morning.
