The house is on the corner of Victoria Park with some lovely gardens overlooking Hillsborough Bay.
The tour of the house is absolutely worthwhile guided by a very knowledgeable guide who answered all our questions.
She even knew what this was:
Lunch was had at a very nice German bakery and restaurant called Leonhard's Cafe located near the Confederation Centre for the Arts. But, for my money in the PEI German Pastry challenge, there was nothing to compare to Angelika's Strudel in Hunter River.
After lunch we got back to the motel so Joe could get ready for his flight home. I'm sorry to see my biking partner fly off but it has been a memorable trip and he has his lady waiting for him after three long weeks separated.
To finish off our visit to the island capital, Sarah and I shared a lobster roll at the Confederation Centre's restaurant prior to catching the preview performance for Lennie Gallant's new show called "Searching for Abegweit".
This was a shot in the dark when I booked the tickets since I knew nothing about his music but it was an absolutely wonderful show full of humour and stories and music. The fact that two of his nephews were part of his band along with images of his sister's artwork projected on the screen behind the stage made for a real downhome experience.
You can keep your Anne of Green Gables. If you want the real PEI, Lennie Gallant is it.
