Limestone & Lilacs B&B Kingston

... Castle, other Kingston Forts and waterfronts while dining and being entertained onboard luxurious old time steamer replicas.

We came here because it's home to Don Cherry, Doug Gilmore, Bryan Adams, The Tragically Hip, Dan Aykroyd and sir John A. Macdonald. It has over 22 museums, 3 art galleries, over 200 sunken ships in its harbor and is Ontario’s largest heritage tourist ...

Mehr oder wnoger spontan haben Max, Eyad und ich beschlossen und ein Auto zu mieten und ein bisschen die Gegend zu erkunden. Nachdem wir bei allen moeglichen Autovermietungen in Ottawa angerufen und uns ueber den Preis erkundigt haben, fiel die Entscheidung fuer Hertz, da diese nur $180 fuer die beiden Tagen incl. allen Kilometern und Vollversucherung haben wollten.

Mein Vorschlag nach 1000 Islands zu fahren kam gut an und wir haben uns auf dem Weg gemacht. Viel zu sehen ...

One of the best days ever! Surrounded by friends and family, I promised my whole life to my constant.

... a few beaches with beautiful clean sand and where the water is an aqua greeny blue type colour. The wind had settled down so we were able to have a short relaxing look and walk on the beach. The driver dropped us off at a trail again and we did a short 1 mile hike to a church. This was a very good walk too with some challenging spots and amazing vistas out over the water and coast. We walked past little inlets with some boats and abandoned ropes and fishing type ...

... in the past 36 hours, and partly so we wouldn't fall asleep. Had an awesome Indian meal (it's the Indian Students YMCA) Because we were so exhausted we took a city bus past the big sites like Parliament, Big Ben, Oxford Circus and Trafalgar Square. At Trafalgar Square we saw a flash mob gimmick thing being filmed by a local cell phone company for an ad. They were singing karioke with Pink. The paper said 13,000 people showed up. Then we fell into bed for the night.

Senica and I went for along and scenic drive through rural roads to Westport. We saw lots of lakes and stopped for dinner in the small tourist town of Westport where the Big Rideau Lake meets Wolf Lake. We climbed Foley's mountain after dinner and had a nice lookout over the town. Then we meandered through the quiet streets before driving home.

... as his wife died before the castle was finished so he never returned and building stopped. Another top, possibly not true fact is that he was involved in giving Thousand Island dressing to the world by putting it on the menu at the Waldorf. On the boat when they were talking about him I was waiting for them to mention Waldorf salads, which reminds me of Basil Fawlty, but I didn't even click that thousand island dressing might have anything to do with the place I was at until they ...

Senica and I took a long drive today. It was lovely to explore the area. We were definitly travelling on the scenic route. I have never seen Wolfe Lake before, nor driven all the way around Devil Lake. We had a lovely dinner for two at a Greek Restaurant in Wesport.

... to pick up hitchhikers in Michigan on a controlled access thoroughfare {interstate for you non-legal minded}. So what happens if you go to jail for picking up a hitchhiker. Can you be sent to the prison where you picked up the hitchhiker? And then what happens if you escape and someone picks you up when you're hitchhiking? I could go on, but you can see that it doesn't take much to amuse a mind when you've been driving for 5 days. "Watch for Turtles Crossing" - This was a ...

Kingston really is a beautiful city, and especially in the summer. The sunshine and colouring of the limestone in contrast with all the green on the trees and vibrant flowers is unlike anywhere else I have seen in the world. I'm glad I was born here, it gives me pride in telling people aboout Kingston and calling it my hometown.
