Green Acres Inn Kingston

... guards look after 500 of the worst-of-the-worst criminals (child predators, serial killers, etc). A guard explained that if they were sent other institutions, they would be killed by other prisoners. So?? Anyways, this huge stone prison was built in 1835, is constantly undergoing renovations and is strictly off-limits. <br><br>· Fort Frontenac &#8211; Strategically located at the eastern end ...

... Wasser haben wir dann noch ein bisschen das schoene Wetter genossen und uns dann auf den Rueckweg nach Ottawa gemacht, auf dem Max, wie immer im Auto, geschlafen hat.<br><br>Da mitten auf dem Weg die Sonne unterging und Eyad gesagt hat, dass er vorher noch beten muss, haben wir einfach mal auf dem Seitenstreifen der Autobahn halt gemacht, er hat seine Gebetsmatte auf ausgebreitet und gebetet... Fuer mich war das ja nichts..<br><br>Und ich brauchte ganz dringend eine Toilette ...

... 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 ...

<br>Sunday morning we woke up at 6am to prepare for our big bike trip. Chuck and I biked into town, about 8km, to meet my parents and the Wolfe Islander III, a ferry which took us across to Wolfe Island. There were quite a good number of other bikers on the ferry. I overheard one girl saying she was following the Tour de France and trying to match their distances each day. Once we disembarked onto Wolfe Island, we began our westward bike trek along the north ...

... rooms'. They are very small and don't have windows except for a transom type window into another room of the house. We had an excellent meal with them and then were able to try some very good scotch after dinner. It's official, neither L or I really like scotch. Parker seemed to really like the toy we brought for him and played with it for much of the time we were there. After a great evening we made our way back to the hotel, tired and covered in drool stains.

... being closed! Eventually made our way up to Camden Stables Market. Really cool place. We just scratched the surface here, and will need to go back again sometime. Lots of cool stalls selling just about everything. Headed back to the hostel for dinner. Not quite as good as last nights, but good. Walked down to a grocery store before bed just to scope it out for tomorrow. It's weird that I know the area a bit because the ...

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.

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.

... Generally I like to have my first night planned anyway because it makes life a LOT simpler. At the moment, we're thinking of spending a couple of days in Havana, then making our way to Santiago, and then back to Havana - hopefully spending a couple of days at the beach somewhere in there. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them here as comments!

... signs direct us to our destination during a road trip, these "Signposts" are there at points in our lives to ensure we take the right path. The problem is that we often don't see these "Signposts" as we are focused on a pre-planned action. I knew when leaving Calgary that I would head to Winnipeg to see family. The decision as to the direction to take from there wasn't made until I got to Winnipeg. My options were either Northern Ontario or southeast as noted above. On ...
