Up early and success, internet. Phew.
We have decided to skip the big city of Toronto (sorry Toronto, not this time) and drive towards Montreal, staying in Kingston.
After re-watching an episode of the new Anne of Green Gables series, Anne with an E last night, I am now really, really looking forward to visiting Prince Edward Island.
You will probably discover in the near future that I am a HUGE fan of Anne of Green Gables, particularly the books and original 80’s mini-series, although this new version is very good too.
Another influence in my past quest to visit Canada one day.
I hope Prince Edward Island will be a Niagara Falls moment…
As we are looking at exploring some of the smaller towns we are going to have to miss some of the big cities.
Onto the QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way), following huge Lake Ontario and through busy Toronto.
Not a lot to see on the side of the busy highways. I managed a couple of cat naps.
Onto the ‘Highway of Heros’.
A small break at the Port Hope’s ONroute Service Centre for gas and a light lunch in the motorhome.
Soon we had arrived at our destination for tonight, 1000 Islands/Kingston KOA. We checked in and then jumped back in the RV and drove into Kingston, a university city with grand 19th-century buildings on Lake Ontario.
We parked the RV at Fort Henry, (a fort built to protect the Kingston Royal Naval Dockyard during the War of 1812) and wandered down the hill and across the lake into the downtown area. A lovely walk along Princess Street, the main retail strip, admiring the beautiful historic buildings.
It was approaching late afternoon and we were now getting tired, hot and hungry. Time to take an Uber back to the motorhome and set up camp.
An easy dinner cooked in the motorhome and eaten outdoors and a play outside for the boys.
Long driving and sightseeing days, however, always enjoyable.
