Seeing this thread is already up to 350 posts I have decided to end here and start a new thread for our return.
The Green Gables thread has got a little bit long at over 350 posts so I have decided to start again with our trip home.I will post a summary post of PEI on the Green Gables thread as I know quite a few are interested in going there. So to start here is the arrival of the ferry in Nova Scotia...

We certainly enjoyed our time on PEI especially the seafood but to be truthful we did grow a little tired of the sameness of the scenery.There are 3 scenic drives that the tourist bureau suggests but both the North Cape drive and the Points East drive had some pretty boring sections.The minor roads they used were often in poor condition.
The Green Gables and central coast drive though was pretty good.It also had more restaurants near the little fishing ports.I probably would just do this drive.If doing a bit more probably better to stay in a second location as well as Charlottetown.The Inn at St.Peters was fine with good food but not particularly upmarket.A few locals suggested the best place was the Inn at Bay Fortune.Certainly sounds good with an oyster feast each night.
Proprietors Chef Michael Smith and his wife Chastity Smith are proud to welcome you to their end of the island. Our Inn is nestled on 70 acres of land overlooking the Fortune River as it flows into Bay Fortune and the Northumberland Strait beyond. During your stay youโll enjoy exploring our...

For restaurants we couldn't go past the Water Street Corner Store in Charlottetown.Really good lobster and scallops

Also on the Green Gables drive we liked the Malpeque oyster barn.You can find it on TA and FB.If you are young and have a good appetite the oysters looked really good and were shucked when ordered.
I would avoid Dave's Lobster.A couple of outlets.
Personally if you are not into Anne of Green Gables 3 or 4 nights here is perfectly adequate.We wished initially that we had only 3 nights on PEI and an extra 3 in Nova Scotia as the scenery is much nicer.Unfortunately Hurricane Dorian is interfering with our plans and have missed out on 2 nice sounding seafood restaurants.
If you are driving all petrol stations have the same price.
The ferry from Nova Scotia to PEI does not sell single trips from Nova Scotia.You must buy a return trip-though obviously no need to take the return.Tghey do sell one way tickets from PEI.
And for Craven morehead they do have lots of golf courses and some look really good.The developers are not great on names.Near the Green Gables course are 2 more-Forest Hills and Eagles Glen.You might have to try getting your mates interested in a golf trip here.Non players can enjoy the seafood.Lots of craft and art stores though mrsdrron found nothing that she really liked.
Glad to answer any questions.
