... und so sind wir da hin gegangen und ich muss sagen,d ass es sich gelohnt hat. Dabei handelte es sich um eine Licktprojektion auf dem Centre Block des Parliament begleitet von Musik und Texten. Ich weiss zwar nicht, was das Thema dieses Jahr war, aber es war ein bisschen wie eine Kanada-Gehirnwaesche, das sie unzaehlige Male Kanada erwaehnt haben. Aber die Projetion war unerwartet scharf und gut zu sehen!<br><br>Nach diesem langen Tag gings dann nur noch ab nach Hause.<br> <br> <br> 

... 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! I'm now taking some photos with my phone and that seems to do the trick!

... of the way back was the Fort Henry Hill, a natural elevation, used strategically by the military, two hundred years ago as protection and a look out point. This is a long steep hill to climb and by the top my thighs and knees were burning. However, we pushed on and finished the final 6km. The last 500m of our trip was a long downhill slope which cooled and refreshed us after the 5 hour ride. <br>I was thinking it would be great to do this again next weekend!

May 8 When we woke up this morning the hostel was freezing. According to our guide we apparently only pay enough for a couple of hours of heat in the evening - idiot! The fire had gone out too so even the common room was cold. We were up early again and went for a peaceful walk along the shoreline and saw sheep on tiny islands - we were relieved when we drove by later and saw that the sheep could roam once the tide went out. We drove over to a beach nearby. There are ...

... my arm from the bed I can almost touch the shower stall. Beside it is the toilet - it sort of has 2 little swing out doors, but they hit your knees if you close them while you're on the toilet. We figured out that our room use to be a washroom - they took out the sinks and put a bunk bed in! Kind of scuzzy, but clean enough, and the price includes breakfast and dinner. We showered before we went for dinner. Partly to get off some of the filth that accumulated on ...

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.

It was time to start heading back towards Toronto but there was still time for one final stop off at Kingston near 1000 islands, which is a place where there are islands. Guess how many? About 1800. Ha, tricked you. We jumped on board for a 2 hour scenic trip which meandered between a fair few of the 1800. We went past Boldt Castle on Heart Island which was built by George Boldt, who was owner of the Waldorf-Astoria, as a labour of love for his wife. Bit of a tragic end to the ...

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.

... I will most probably expand on the subject in later emails. Road side signs: "Honest Injun Tourist Trap" - Located in front of a store in a small town along Lake Michigan. Looks like they sell trinkets and stuff that says "Anytown, USA". Not much use for the stuff but collect dust and get thrown in the garbage after a few years. A sign that brings meaning to the old adage of truth in advertising. "Prison Area-Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers" - It's illegal in the first ...
