... angehalten und gefragt. Der nette Mann hat uns den Kajakverleih in Gananoque empfohlen, wo wir dann auch hingefahren sind.<br><br>Als wir dort ankamen war es leider schon halbdrei und die Leute vom Verleih meinten, dass man eigentlichmehr mind. 3 Stunden braucht, damit es sich lohnt. Da sie aber um 5 Uhr schliessen wollten, haben wir nicht so viel Zeit gehabt, aber trotzdem zwei Kajaks gemietet und wenigstens ein bisschen herumpaddeln zu koennen und das tolle Wetter ...

... in the town. Oh! I can highly recommend the pizza and lite beer! I'm strictly Canadian for the next few days...and I actually had a Canadian lite beer. Speelman's. It was quite tasty! <br><br>I am going to try to add photos to this travel blog...but I forgot the cord to transfer photos to my computer!

May 11 Nice shower in warm private room this morning! A nice change after the hostels. Also had a television again - yay! Out relatively early to hike up Arthur's Seat.

Senica and I went for along and scenic drive through rural roads to Westport.

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.

And that's when the heat will hit! I'm very excited, a bit scared, but mostly just thrilled :) Ela
