Green Acres Inn Kingston

... auf einer Privatinsel halt gemacht und Max und ich haben die Gelegenheit genuzt im warmen Wasser zu baden. Ein Traum!
Nach insgesamt gut zwei Stunden haben wir dann die Kajaks wiederzurueckgegeben und und ein bisschen Gananoque angsehen.
Niedliches Staedchen mit einer wirlich guten Eisdiele - wie auf den Bildern zu erkennen ist hat Max sich ein riesiges Bananasplit gegoennt und ich mich zumindest beim Essen eifrig beteiligt.

Auf einer kleinen Wiese direkt ...

... 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!

I am going to try to add photos to this travel blog...but I forgot the cord to transfer photos to my computer! I'm now taking some photos with my phone and that seems to do the trick!

... and clear views of the lake.  We were seeking out the Penitentiary Prison, a tiny building giving the history of jails through the ages - sizes of cells, controlling methods and how the inmates made their weapons. Not quite Alcatraz but the kids enjoyed it.

After this riveting experience we decided it was time to eat and we joined one of Jo's friends Wendy at the local steak restaurant. We were filling ...

... you Kimberly and your children. I thanked Kimberly kindly and went on my way, stopping in Kemptville to fill my tank up all the way.

By the time I got to Kingston, the rain was coming down pretty hard. I couldn't see in front of my face and I had to stop for a while. Driving a motorbike in the rain is no fun. None at all.

I went to the bathroom, called Jamie ...

... we catch the ferry to the Isle of Skye. Had some time before the ferry so admired Harris tweed (since we are on Harris). It's itchy and expensive so I am not the happy owner of Harris Tweed. It's nice to look at but I wouldn't want to have to wear it. The ferry to Skye was an uneventful one and a half hours. Much calmer crossing than the one we took to Lewis. Instead of planning ahead the stupid driver took us all the way from Uig where the ferry landed down to ...

So, approximately 21 hours from now we will all be on a veeeery long flight to South Africa. Not sure we are as excited for that part as we are to get there. It will be Monday afternoon when we actually arrive at the Moholoholo Wildlife Reserve. Sure hope the in-flight movies are good!! Not sure when we will first get to the internet cafe but we'll drop a note when we can............photos.......well, we'll see how groggy and travel weary we look! ;-) Ciao til later!

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.

... secret beach'. It was so still and quiet. For the tenth of January, it was perfect weather, so mild that the lake was water and not ice. The decaying cemetary was from the 1800s and the tombstones were sinking into the grass and dirt. Very cool

... especially since I don't have a motorcycle to ride). AFTER leaving the campground I figured I should have used Mapquest to print a map of the area. It's not that I would get lost. I knew I'd eventually return to my starting point, but the distance travelled might exceed the distance I would have liked to have gone. And that's exactly what happened. Northeast....then North....West...then a road that should have returned me to the road I knew would get me to the campground ...
