... Castle, other Kingston Forts and waterfronts while dining and being entertained onboard luxurious old time steamer replicas.<br><br>We came here because it's home to Don Cherry, Doug Gilmore, Bryan Adams, The Tragically Hip, Dan Aykroyd and sir John A.

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

... told us how to get to a little island just down the road where we could eat, rest and hang out during the heat of the day. What a gift, as we never would have discovered it on our own. Anyway apparently while we were inside shopping several customers had come in the store concerned about the girl stretched out on the lawn. Some thought she might even be passed out! The manager told us, "Don't ...

Saturday, August 15, 2009 - Kingston<br><br>We arrived in Kingston after traveling about 9 hours. It was a long day, but we still had time to enjoy the waterfront and walk around the town a bit. The stores closed at 5:30pm, but the restaurants (and ice cream parlors!) were open all evening. We ate at a nice little bistro that had an outside patio. (Of course, we soon learned ...

May 12 Out and walked up the Royal Mile this morning. They have bleachers set up outside the castle so it sort of ruins the ambience. We weren't going to but we changed our minds and did the tour of Mary King's Close. It was sort of hokey, but also interesting and informative (and expensive!). We were both glad that we did it. We checked out the shops on the Royal Mile and explored some of the Close ...

... it was a combination of her being afraid and out of shape. The view from the top was good. We were looking down at the crooked roof lines. It is amazing that some of these old buildings in York aren't in danger of collapsing. Since we have cooking facilities we bought a meal deal at Marks & Spencer's and had a great, cheap dinner. It was wild atlantic salmon, new potatoes and fresh fruit salad. It also came with a bottle of wine. After polishing off the bottle ...

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.

... for but, considering our time constraint of two weeks, I'm not complaining. The bus ride will take at least two days of travelling north nonstop but I figure it should be daylight nearly the whole trip so I'm optimistic. Incredibly optimistic that nothing can ruin my good mood. I've been waiting for this Friday for a month because it means the start of a 15 day weekend where I can relax and enjoy the beauty of Canada all the days long!

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.

... the Scotsman Andy after he brought a kiddies sleeping bag instead of an adult size in Walmart and as a result he spent most of the night frozen. But as the sun rose we started to defrost and made the short drive into the Kingston student area for the university's Home-coming Festival and discovered all the cells were fall after the first night (Friday) of Home Coming and Saturday evening is usually the busiest night for the ...
