We were wonderfully hosted by Neil and Gisela at their home and Studio in Elora http://www.hanscombglass.com The scope of their work had really changed since our last visit and, if glass wasn't such a fragile substance, we would have bought even more of it home. They gave us a truly great time.
We had some great fun whilst we were in Elora, including sharing quite a lot of alcohol with Mark and Marty next door to Neil and Gi at Mermaid Antiques, also wonderful hosts with wonderful stories to tell.
We were also there for Canada Day and watched the parade in Elora on a beautiful day.
We headed up to Algonquin by ourselves for 4 days to Killarney Lodge where we had a cabin right on the lake from which we could jump straight into our own canoe.
This was our early evening view from the deck on day 2.
On the first day, we took a whole day to walk one of the highest trails in the park. After driving up to Northern Ontario in torrential rain, the first day the weather broke and from day two we had unbroken sunshine.
The park was lovely, as I always expected it would be. We saw a moose, a snake and a coyote although, somewhat bizarrely, the moose and the coyote were seen just yards from the main highway!! The Killarney Lodge was a great place to stay, although they give you FAR TOO MUCH FOOD!!!! (great, but too much lol).
