Going to the coach station introduced us to a new part of Montreal:
And the beautiful leaves proved a constant distraction en route:
Queen's University Campus:
This is Faye's street! We went to Kingston to visit her for the long Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.
Lakeside of Lake Ontario:
Watching the McGill Redmen play away against the Queen's Gaels. Another new sport to tick off my list. It was really good fun to watch, even if Helena and I were sat surrounded by home supporters (needless to say we were unpopular . . .)
The Wolfe Island ferry. Wolfe Island is a large, inhabited island in Lake Ontario from which you can get a subsequent ferry on to the U.S.! That's how close we were to the border! We rented bikes and cycled to a corn maze, and then took a scenic route back.
On Sunday morning we actually jumped off the pier into Lake Ontario, which was certainly a bracing start to the day. I haven't got any photos of that, but Helena filmed it all for us - so we won't be forgetting our freezing squeals any time soon!
Honestly one of the nicest weekends I have had in a very long while. Kingston was beautiful, and we were treated to such good weather. I loved Wolfe Island and we enjoyed some great food - burgers and French toast, anyone?
