Off to the Cottage & Tobermory

Up at a reasonable hour to be ready for Dave & Kris to pack the cars. Away for the cottage at around 10:00 with a 5 hour trip, stopping only for a quick lunch at Tim Hortons. We arrived late pm and unpacked the car.

The cottage is delightfully situated on the shore of the lake with an approach from the road through mature trees. The plot has its own lake access with timber decking for soaking up the sun and a shady area in front of the house for people wanting the atmosphere and view but not the UV.
Kris had semi-prepared an evening meal of chicken enchiladas which were great, washed down with a glass of Dave’s wine.

The Harbour

Off to Tobermory to have a look around the town, check out the glass bottomed boat tours, do some shopping and look in a couple of the arty crafty shops.
After lunch we went to ‘Singing sands’ where the beach slopes very gently into the lake. You can walk some distance before the water even gets to your knees and as a result of being so shallow, it is quite warm. Back on the beach, we set about building a sand castle – it has been some time since we did anything like this and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The castle we built had a real moat! The sand was very nice to work with and lent itself to the task.
