Kingston Lasalle Travelodge Hotel

... br>Und das hat sich trozt der kurzen Zeit definitiv gelohnt. Es war einfach traumhaft bei strahlendem Sonnenschein zwischen den unaehligen Inseln herumzupaddeln. Vieleder Inseln sind Privatbesitz und es stehen Wohnhaeuser auf ihnen - das waer auch was fuer mich so fuers Wochenende oder oder die Ferien!

Es sollte auf manchen Inseln auch Straende geben, die wir allerdings nicht entdeckt haben und die auch nicht auf unserer Karte eingezeichnet waren. Also haben wir ...

... 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 ...

... and our faces) before we attended the evening ceremony at Fort Henry.  Now this is something really worth visiting a 19th Century British Fort we watched military bands, firing demonstrations and a sunset firework display (the whole experience would be even better if you had just seen "last of the Mohican's" to really understand what it would have been like living in a fort at this time).

... so the lady moved us to another compartment. It was absolutely tiny in comparison - not really enough room to even turn around. I'm claustrophobic and I didn't like it. I would have survived but the lady came to the door after we got underway and sad she'd found us another disabled berth. The disabled compartments also come with first class little bags of goodies - I don't know why I enjoy those little packages of toothpaste and stuff but I highly enjoy them ...

... Lewis. It was a long 2 and a half hours. The boat was getting tossed around a bit and I forgot to bring gravol. I didn't get sick, but I was happy when we got to Stornaway. L giggled like a little girl as she carried oversized tea cups with hot drinks in them back to our seats without sea legs - it looked more like running ahead three paces, stepping back and pausing only long enough to quickly raise the cups in the air to ...

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.

... tant donné que nous sommes en dehors des périodes touristiques, ces bateaux sont à bon port. En soirée, on retourne en ville pour visiter le fort Henry. La construction du fort Henry a été complétée en 1836. Il a servi de garnison aux armés anglaises et canadienne jusqu'en 1890. Le fort n'a jamais été attaqué, mais il a servi de prison aux rebelles des insurrections. Le fort a été restauré et sert maintenant de musée consacré à l'histoire militaire britannique et ...

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.

... a trip. I feel like I've been through so much that I have difficulty believing it has only been 9 months since this adventure began. It has and, the ending of it aside, I can't complain.... I've been pretty lucky. I got to see how amazing a ...

... Tornado. The Tornado is a twin hulled boat and we read that this year they had increased the sail area and competitors were still learning to cope with the new speed. We were soon sailing near this fleet as they came down on us flying their spinnakers. Margaret went below to get the camera as she wanted a picture of all the beautiful coloured sails. When she found it and got back up they had already passed us. Not surprising since we were only doing a leisurely three knots ...
