• Tobermory

    20 juni, Kanada ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F

    When I crossed the street this morning to buy croissants for breakfast, I noticed a car parked beside the hotel with a “Just Married” sign and a string of cans attached to the back. It made me think about how many years Ursula and I have been together.

    🚙 Today’s drive to Tobermory was 165 miles straight north along the shores of Lake Huron. The scenery was mostly flat farmland, with occasional cattle pastures on one side and beach communities on the other. Like yesterday, we took a few detours to explore some of the sandy beaches and wondered about the many waterfront properties for sale.

    About halfway there, we stopped at a roadside farmers’ market and picked up a basket of fresh strawberries. They were sweet, juicy, and absolutely delicious.

    After checking into a simple roadside motel, we drove five minutes into Tobermory, located at the northern tip of the Bruce Peninsula. The town is known for kayaking, diving, sailing, and boat tours to nearby islands and rock formations. The crystal-clear water was stunning.

    A couple of cold beers on a restaurant patio hit the spot before we strolled through the harbor and browsed the charming little shops. After a short nap back at the motel, we returned to town for an early fish and chips dinner.

    The internet and phone reception are both slow and spotty - it took me over an hour to upload this footprint 🤣.

    Tomorrow, we are taking the ferry to Manitoulin Island. Departure is at 8:45 a.m., with check-in at 7:30. A good reason to turn in early tonight. 😎
