Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador

Travel Medical Insurance for Visitors to CanadaPrince Edward Island
Prince Edward IslandPEI is often called the Birthplace of Canada because it is where delegates from Upper and Lower Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) gathered to discuss Federation. However, you may better know PEI as the home of Anne of Green Gables. If you are an Anne fan, you won’t want to miss a visit to Green Gables and Cavendish, the home of Lucy Maude Montgomery. You can see the red beaches and many of the locations mentioned in the book such as the “Haunted Wood” and the ‘Babbling Brook’.

The number one food produced in PEI is the potato and nothing accompanies the famous Lobster suppers better than potato salad. And, if you want the real classic Lobster meal you must experience The New Glasgow Lobster Supper which has been serving it up for over fifty five years.

See the official website of the province of Prince Edward Island.

Newfoundland and Labrador
NewfoundlandNewfoundland is a friendly place with a harsh but beautiful landscape. The cuisine here was born of necessity due to the fact that during the bitter winter months, very little resources were available. As a result, one of the specialties of the place is cod tongue, born of the days when every single part of the fish was eaten. Be warned that when you ask for fish in Newfoundland you will always get cod! Cod is so common that it is often just referred to as ‘fish’. Any other type of fish is called by its name. While in Newfoundland, visit Cape Spear where Newfoundland’s oldest lighthouse still stands after sixteen decades. Take a walk on Water Street in St. John’s, the oldest street in North America. Experience the vast wilderness of nearby Labrador –over 300, 000 square kilometers of unspoiled land with some of the best fishing grounds in Canada.
