Brown's Bay Inn Kingston

... Lake Ontario, no ship traffic entered Upper Canada without passing under its guns.<br><br><br><br>Things we Observed:<br><br>· With all of the muskegs surrounding Kingston, we thought it cynical that Ducks Unlimited would designate a large insignificant low-lying area as a Wildlife Sanctuary in the middle of an industrial park &#8211; there&#8217;s no water in it!!!!! Seems like eco-geeks run ...

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 ...

... to take the girl on the lawn with you when you go". <br><br>The park on the island is going to be beautiful when the town is done working on it. We sort of took over the pavillion. We streched out our mattress pads to sit on to eat and then took naps. Carmen took out her sleeping bag for the sun to dry up the moisture. A cop drove by and looked at us weird and drove off, Alexis thinks some ...

... all the towns/cities in Canada have outside patios!) Taking a look at Kingston from the visitors and downtown development perspective, it needs some sprucing up. Litter was a major problem and unkempt green spaces did not add to the ambiance. On a positive note, our waiter was very friendly and was a good spokesperson for general information about the colleges and ...

Another day out and this time to Kingston, which apparently used to be Canada's capital city until it lost its glory and was dropped (something like that).  Kingston is a warm welcoming city full of bespoke shops of which I was not allowed to visit (oh with exception to a 'Grace Brothers' equivalent of a outdoor equipment store - absolutely full of equipment and clothes to sell, most of which were on sale ...

... that I did enjoy going into was a fantastic secondhand book shop absolutely full of books listed by authors.  Books were basically half their retail price.  I was amazed by the collection of Jeffrey Archer books available and a biography on The Princes (William and Harry) which was displayed as  'prized' book behind the till.  <br><br>Delicious ice cream, stock up on the wine and then home.<br>     <br><br>  .   

... Glasgow has some of the most beautiful buildings that I have ever seen. They also have some of the ugliest buildings I have ever seen. We took a hop on/off bus tour around the city with our luggage and got off at the stop near the hotel. It's expensive but since we don't have much time here we decided to splurge. After dropping off our bags we hopped back on and decided to do the whole route again ...

... talked briefly to some people from Sutherland and talked to some guy from Austria who is now living in York (we have a picture of him and me if anyone is interested). Things are very blurry from then till morning - we got very lost on the way back to our room, I vaguely remember trying to telephone my dog at my mom's (we didn't get arrested mom! - I know you were worried about that). There 'may' have been 1 or 2 other drunken incidents, but I'm not writing them down!

... us a few beers! It was great! Such a nice way to finish class! A few of us went shopping on Princess street and I bought a few more cotton outfits at Gap (yay sales!) and a pretty dress at this little boutique. We went for dinner for Tai at Mango, it was very delicious. I had leaves and uncooked vegetables, something we can't eat in Ghana because of the malaria and waterborne ...

... Street Party with no music and police on every corner. There were a few fireworks otherwise it was just a big drinking socialising event where you had to fight for some room. However after an hour or two the lack of sleep is taking its toll and the plan to pull some drunk Canadian students is not going to happen. So I unfortunately get to spend the night in the car freezing my **** off with my Australian and Scottish friends.
