Kozy Inn Kingston

... die naechste Gelegenheit war Ikea, weswegen wir dann doch da auch noch schnell eingekehrt sind und etwas gegessen haben. Fast wie zu Hause...

Eyad wollte noch fuer seine Freundin Kleider bei H&M kaufen und daher sind wir, obwohl es schon nach 8 Uhr war noch in die Stadt gefahren und haben geschaut ob es einen H&M im Rideau Center (grosse Mall) gibt, hatten aber leider kein Glueck.

Eingefallen ist mir dann noch die Sound&Light Show auf dem Parliament ...

Saturday, August 15, 2009 - Kingston

We arrived in Kingston after traveling about 9 hours. It was a long day, but we still had time to enjoy the waterfront and walk around the town a bit. The stores closed at 5:30pm, but the restaurants (and ice cream parlors!) were open all evening. We ate at a nice little bistro that had an outside patio. (Of course, we soon learned ...

... 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).

... we could go inside. Which was just as well for me because the outhouse was always a bit creepy - lots of earwigs - despite the air fresheners, padded seat, and frog decorations.
The only thing that really hasn't changed much is the physical island. The grasses are still long habitat for all sorts of little creatures, the deer are still plentiful, and the rocks still lay in the marvellous sunsets.

... to have a horrible headache. Some of the doorways were so low that I had to crawl through. Up some stairs to nowherè - no roof - small round cone shaped building. Not a big place, but I love to explore ruins. The winds were the strongest that I've ever experienced. As I exited the house, bent over at the waist, a gust blew me right off my feet onto my side. Wearing waterproof clothes from head to toe sort of makes a large wind sail out of me! From there we headed to ...

... there and it's a million-dollars-a-minute for the internet......... I'm not sure how these email notifications are coming to you, if it is a simple link, but just in case, here is the shortcut to our blog: www.travelpod.com/members/adnannie That's the update for now...........another to come once we land and as soon as we are near the internet!

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.

... much of my stuff, but had to go without a computer for awhile and spend much of my precious time researching and buying a new computer. Not to mention all of the precious money I had to spend on it. I also got a new pocket pc a few weeks ago. Means I can go on-line if I can get Wifi access over there, and e-mail and post blogs. I'm so busy at work ...

Wolfe Island is a lovely place to go for a day trip. You can get out of the city but get back quick if you need to. Price includes a free boat ride and an island that seems set back in time. The ice cream at the local mercantile will not disappoint!
