Today we headed across country in an easterly direction, stopping along the way to lunch in another National Park (you have to pay to enter them all here) and to follow a short trail up to a bubbling pond. It was quite hot and the air was thick with thirsty mosquitoes and buzzing things that flew. A number of lovely beaches lie along the coastline within the park. We found a large camp ground, possibly the largest we have come across to date, having 521 sites but with a lousy WiFi connection despite the lady insisting that it was possible to get a reception from anywhere in the camp. We took a wander down the road and found an information centre where we picked up some info on possible activities for tomorrow. On the way back we came across the home where Lucy Maud Montgomery spent her childhood. She was the writer of Anne of Green Gables. This part of the island is known as Anne's Land and tomorrow we are going to Green Gables to check it out. We have been told it is very touristy but still quite well done and worth a look.
