Coast to Lakes, roadtrip in Ontario: The Lakes!

 Water was an unavoidable subject from the 2nd day of the road trip onwards, because we were either looking at lakes, rowing in the lake...or getting rained on!

Lake Erie flowing into Lake Ontario at Niagara Falls. Canadian Horseshoe Falls on the right, American Falls in the middle, and Rainbow bridge on the left. The steam blocks the view from time to time, but this time I had the luxury of relaxing in the hotel room sofa perched high above ground and sipping hot tea, while waiting for the wind to blow the steam away. Niiiiice

Scribbled together a quick one at Gravenhurst's Steamship pier before the drizzle set in. Since my last visit was nice and balmy weather, I was totally unprepared of the freezing wind...so the boathouses to the right was left undrawn...The steamships are (left) RMS Segwun and Wenonah (right). The water itself is Muskoka Bay. And...they're both off season, since I still chose early Spring to revisit...oh well, at least Segwun is not under renovation this time.

Canada trip: Ontario

Muskoka Wharf, Gravenhurst, ON
The ship on the left is the oldest operating steamship in North America, RMS Segwun. But sadly under repair because it's still a full month before the sightseeing season ;A; 
According to the nice lady selling handmade soap next door, this place will be crazy crowded once the summer season starts...


Lake of Two Rivers, Algonquin Provincial Park. (The red thing in the background is the canoe assigned to our cabin~)
