We set out for Kingston and 1000 islands. The first stop was Tim Horton’s. This is a Canadian staple -- coffee and snack shop which is everywhere. According to everyone we met, Canadian’s can’t live without their Tim Horton’s and we can understand why. The coffee and food is great – fresh, prepared to order and inexpensive. Kingston is a very picturesque town. They had an art fair right by the lake so we walked through outside vendors and found a flea market. Bo bought two pairs of earrings.
The boat trip around the islands was pleasant but we only saw about 4 islands, which was a far cry from the thousand islands we were promised. The largest, Wolf Island, is quite large – over 30 km long. The trip back to Oshawa was not pleasant. Lots of traffic. It was the end of a holiday weekend for Canada so it took us a while to get back. We stopped in the local Keg restaurant for dinner and had good steak and lobster.
