Day 41—Pancake Bay to Manitoulin Island, Ontario

Staying at Pancake Bay for an extra day was awesome. We had a lazy morning, and had nap on the beach, then another swim in the afternoon. We had a nice fire and drinks last night. This morning, I woke up and read my book out on the beach in the sun.

We drove through Sault Saint Marie, and then down to Manitoulin Island on HWY 6. Manitoulin Island is on Lake Huron, and is quite pretty.

It has lots of little farms, lakes, and rocks. The rocks in this area of the country are amazing, from pink, white and yellow to black and shiny. We watched a swing bridge in action today, where it swings 90 degrees in order to allow tall boats to go through. It was neat! Then we stopped for ice cream and a rest. We finally made it to the ferry that will take us to Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula, but were about 30 minutes late. Oh well, we now have a hotel room and had a delicious dinner of fish and chips made from fresh caught lake perch from Lake Huron. The earliest ferry tomorrow is at 11:10, so we likely won’t make it back to Toronto until the next day. Our trip is coming to an end and it is very sad. But it has been amazing! I have used that word a lot, but it is true.
