Day 8 - Prince Edward Island

Can it be day 8 already?  8 is sounding way to close to 10....

We had a very enjoyable half-day excursion to visit Green Gables (of Anne in Green Gables fame) and a tour of the island.  We had a good bus guide who kept things interesting.  At Green Gables we watched a video then Mary toured the house.  Later we walked the grounds, including Lovers Lane and the Haunted Woods, both famous from the books.
After touring the Green Gables farm we headed for the coast which was very rugged and dramatic as you can see in this picture.  Apparently the northern coast of the island takes the brunt of the winter storms and has experienced some erosion.  

Tonight was the second formal night on the cruise, and the dinner was our favorite: lobster and king prawns!  It was delicious and to top it off the dessert was Floating Islands, another favorite!!  Definitely a meal to remember.
After dinner we went to a new Princess show - Broadway Ballroom.  The performers sang and danced to many Broadway tunes and even included 3 songs from Mama Mia!  Looking forward to a sea day tomorrow.
