Time is flying by

After a 10 week break the Ontario (and points east) Odyssey clicked back into gear the moment we got back to 460 Sarah. Having done the Surrey exchange in 2007 we were aware that the second half of the year was going to fly by and with this in mind after we got home we headed out again.

We'd travelled through Tobermory on our way to Manitoulin Island in May and our brief stay had told us that we needed to return and see for ourselves just how clear the water was and whether the sunsets were as good as they were reputed to be. And for those that are interested, and I am, Tobermory is at the northern tip of the BRUCE Peninsular. http://www.thebrucepeninsula.com/index.html So it had to be good!!!! 

So it was back to my normal position in the CuRVy. Some unkind people when watching me play sport have mentioned that the words Frosty and Passenger go hand in hand but as far as driving goes these days I must prefer to see this person behind the wheel. And after all I think I deserve a chauffeur or at least someone who knows a little bit about what they're doing. And the company is very nice!!!

Flowerboxes are quite an item in Canada, as are gardens in general, but if Australia had a year that includes more than 7 months of winter maybe we'd be as fanatical about enjoying the summer. It would help us Aussies if we actually had more precipitation! Whatever the reason it seems to me that Canadians and their various levels of Government are more interested in the beautification of their towns. 

A brief stop at Timmy's ( http://www.timhortons.com/ ) at C......wood allowed Julie and I to reacquaint  with what had become a staple of our travelling diet. We were not after the Tim Bits and definately not the coffee (the less said about the coffee the better, sorry Canadians), it was the soup and the chili we wanted. One thing in Timmy's favour is that the service is always great and the food fresh.

Heading along the wonderfully named Bruce Peninsula with hunger satisfied the day was nicer and nicer and it also seemed that this part of the continent had been spared the ravages of Irene. Even Mrs Garmin was showing her best behavior and we wheeled the CuRVy into the reception area at Wireless Bay Cottages http://www.blueheronco.com/Wirelessbay/home.htm.

And the weather this day was a good as that displayed on their Webpage! With the weather fine and a lovely sunset promised we took advantage of the offer that came with the apartment and decided on the sunset cruise rather than waiting for the other option of a morning trip to Flowerpot Island.

While the photographs in the brochures looked amazing it was better in real life....

 

Kind of a "wow" way to finish a great day. "And weren't we lucky with the weather".
