The Journey so far.....

B - reporting

We were up early, as we had promised ourselves a restaurant breakfast in Tobermory! Which we had, in the pretty little town at the head of the peninsula. Then, fortified with French toast and coffee, we had a wonder round the town and harbour before boarding the ferry.

We are not used to giant lakes, and were unprepared for the roughness of the crossing. I have been on longer ocean crossings which were much calmer! The ship plunged and rolled, fellow-passengers turning slightly green as the bow smashed into the waves. Even we felt ever so slightly conscious of our stomachs.

We docked on the largest freshwater island in the World!!!* and drove across it, over low hills and round pretty bays. We reached the mainland and continued west, stopping in the small town of Snake River to camp. We are becoming aware of the vastness of Canada, having driven all this way and not even in the middle of the country.

The not so calm lake!
