    We dropped Kirsten's truck off to the garage the night before and when we arrive in the morning it's moved so she goes in and pays the bill and luckily it's not as bad as we expected. We then continue our journey to tobermory it's at the northern peninsula and is about 2 hours away. The drive seems to go really quickly even though we haven't stopped for coffee on the way and we arrived into tobermory and struggle initially to find a parking space but then we managed to find a perfect one and car parking paid online the maximum stay being 3 hours. We've decided to take a boat trip here and opt for the glass bottom boat as there are shipwrecks on route but the boat doesn't leave till 12:30 and the car parking started at 11.10 and only 3 hours permitted it runs out at 14.10 and the boat is not expected to get back until 2:30 but I decide to take the chance and we buy our tickets for the 12:30 boarding. While we wait we go and enjoy a coffee in Tobermory coffee and after join the queue for boarding the boat. Will leave the harbour at 12:45 and cruise around some beautiful islands one more chance is the big tub lighthouse which has been there since 1960. One of the other special places is flowerpot islands leave the two rare rock formations which look like two flowerpots perturbing from turquoise waters, then we sail over the sweepstakes which is an old schooner which run around in 1885. The glass bottom of the boat allows you to view the shipwreck but as I lean over my selfie stick springs for my phone and drops down to the base of the glass bottom boat . Once we are tied up the lady climbs down and reunites me with my selfie stick. We decide to head back before the roads become too busy and stop off at the highway chapel. It's the smallest chapel in Canada and actually has a place to worship inside. There is not much advertising and literally if you drove by and blinked you would miss it.もっと詳しく
