Southern Ontario

After an unpleasant nights sleep, we left the motel and headed for the ferry which would take us to the Bruce Peninsula. We arrived at the port about two hours before the ferry even arrived, because towing the boat required us to be in a lane suitable for over sized-vehicles.

As we waited, we chatted with some other travelers heading across the country. There was an old man in an RV from BC, traveling across Ontario to see all there was to see. Another traveler was a man working in the Alberta oil patch, he seemed to clearly hate his time in Alberta, and was happy to return to Ontario. We also talked to some guys who happened to be staying in the motel next to my parents, they had customized trikes, and were traveling the land.


After we returned to the truck, we heard the sound of a large ship horn, and looked down the channel as the large ferry arrived. If you've ever been to British Columbia and taken the ferry to Vancouver Island, this is virtually the same experience.





After the cruise, we arrived at the Bruce Peninsula and headed for the tourist town of Lion's Head. This town is located on Georgian's Bay, and serves as a popular tourist destination for the Toronto crowd. This town hosts a beautiful beach and a large marina, if you're in the area, you should stop by and check it out for an hour or so.








Afterwards, we passed through Toronto, and let me say that the less I say about Toronto, the better off we'll all be.
