We were told that the Manitoulin Island and Bruce Peninsula were hidden gems and they were right. Interesting vegetation as it was shorter windblown evergreens and deciduous trees speckled with small farms and ranches. Rolling hills and nicely paved winding roads made us feel at home. Vegetation was not as far along as other areas we have travel through showing us that it must have a northern climate.Got to the ferry terminal and again felt like home waiting in the line up with everybody else. Beautiful emerald green clear water without the stinky ocean smell. The ship is the largest fresh water ship. Mantioulin is the largest fresh water island in the world.
After our 2 hour ferry ride, we arrived at Tobermory a picturesque little tourist town. We drove the town to get a feel for it. Then we found a deserted parking lot to bed down for the night. Then we walked into town and around. Friday night and people are out at the bars and restaurants. Everyone is googling over Kyle, like they have never seen a Husky. Had Whitefish, Fish and Chips at a local eatery and talked to a colourful young gentleman that gave us some ideas on where to go. Julie and Kyle saw a Coyote just before bed and a bunch serenaded us to sleep.
