We really enjoyed our trip on the Che-cheemaun to the island. As a special, and unexpected treat, there was a bluegrass band travelling to the island for a festival on the weekend and they entertained in the lounge during our trip. Even more unexpected was when the Captain picked up a banjo and joined in. We assumed someone with experience was handling the boat.
We stayed at My Friends Inn Manitoulin. When we arrived at the motel there was no one around. The neighbour lady hollered from her yard "do you need to check in?" She came across to the motel and apologized that the owner wasn't there. Apparently she was running a very important errand. She gave us room keys and left us to officially check in when the owner returned. That is small town hospitality.
We enjoyed a nice drive and and ended up here for supper. Once again, very homemade and small town. It is a general store, restaurant, and tent and trailer park. I love small towns that blend businesses.
Note: I was just reading reviews and it looks like quality and service have taken a dive since our trip. That is a shame because we really enjoyed it.
After a good night sleep we packed up and hit the road, stopping at several museums and tourist sites.
This is a model of the Little Current Swing Bridge.
Here we are actually crossing the swing bridge heading north.
