A long day of driving along the northern shore of Lake Ottawa. Leaving Montreal, which is probably an easy city to live in rather than a beautiful or historic one like Quebec. We drove for two hours to Ottawa for a loo stop at Parliament and then a brunch stop downtown. No town in Canada is without an outpost of the Hudson Bay Company which pre-dates Canada by many years, hence the nickname, HBC.
Boarded our Canada built Prevost bus (Volvo engine) at the Totem Pole and drove a long way to our Thousand Islands tour - a ferry ride around Sydney Harbour would blow their minds if they consider their lakes special. They have built some interesting homes including Astor's unfinished castle for his wife who died before completion.
We then drove, apparently as I slept, for another few hours until we reached the Big Apple. See photos. Tess just loved the cooked apple options!
After a two hour drive we arrived here in Toronto. Lovely clean and modern city. Another good room although their AC is noisy again. Good view of the CN Tower. Nice pizza for dinner.
Tomorrow we stop in Niagara village and then on to the Falls. Looking forward to it as well as a morning coffee with free wifi at Tom Hortons to upload this entry.
