Bottle Houses
Over 25 000 recycled bottles ingeniously cemented together to create the Bottle Houses, a must-see tourist attraction situated in Cap-Egmont, Prince Edward Island, Canada. They were built by the late Édouard T. Arsenault. He gave birth to these houses after having received a postcard of a glass castle from his daughter in 1979, an attraction she had visited on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. That same summer, he started collecting bottles from his community, mostly from a local restaurant, community dance halls, friends, relatives and neighbours.
Avonlea Village

Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, CanadaAvonlea Village, Resort Mun. Stan.B. Hope R. Bayv. Cavend. N.Rust., PE CA
Avonlea Village has recreated the type of rural community where Anne lived (music, wagon rides, candy shop and animators in heritage buildings). Keep your eyes peeled in the Cavendish area, as Anne and Diana are often seen greeting tourists and performing small vignettes. In early July, the L.M. Montgomery Festival is in full swing with special events taking place that are tied to the author and her famous fictional character.
Haunted Mansion
On a hillside in the town of Kensington, Prince Edward Island, stands a forbidding mansion. Local ledgend tells of a wealthy English man, Dr. Jack, descending on the small farming community in the early 1890's and creating his Tudor style home. Care was taken to recreate the winding streets of London in the old cellar to provide an atmosphere of home away from home. As the story goes, he opened a small hotel in his house, however many of the visitors were reportedly never heard from again. Several famous figures reportedly stayed with the Doctor for extended visits, the most notorious being Lizzy Borden... some say she still walks the halls! Come for a visit and see for yourself how the ledgend has grown. Maybe you'll even live to tell about it!
Anne's Green Gables House
Category: Historic House
Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, CanadaPrince Edward Island National Park, Cavendish, Prince Edward Island Canada
Stop at Green Gables in Prince Edward Island National Park, where you will find preserved the gabled house that inspired the setting of Montgomery's story of the red-haired orphan. Allow lots of time to explore the house and grounds with the Haunted Woods, Lovers Lane, interpretive programs, films on L.M. Montgomery along with gift shops and a snack counter. Not to be missed in Cavendish is the Lucy Maud Montgomery's Cavendish Homestead where relatives of the author, John and Jennie Macneill, still reside and offer guided tours of the grounds.

Prince Edward Island, Canada
I had zero expectations when I visited Prince Edward Island this past summer. But after crossing the long bridge that connects New Brunswick to PEI, I quickly realized what a magical, fairytale-like place PEI is. The fields were the greenest green, the soil was red, and the colors everywhere were vibrant primary colors. It felt like a little Alice in Wonderland, with quaint little English gardens, plays, and tea and scones everywhere we turned. If we were to drive the coastal highway around the entire island, it would have taken a full 16 hours, with twists and turns, red cliffs against the back drop of the ocean views. We didn't do the long drive, since we had limited time. But it was quite gorgeous everywhere. We stopped in at the bottled houses, which were 3 houses made of wine bottles and jars. It was really cool to see these bottles cemented together letting in kaleidoscopes of sunlight everywhere. Had it not been 60-degree range weather in PEI, I would have loved to have stayed longer. As we crossed the ferry back to Nova Scotia, the trance I experienced on PEI quickly dissipated and I realized the fairy tale was over and reality, unfortunately, set in......
