Day in Tobermory

The weather is still great and we look forward to spending a rest day exploring Tobermory and the upper Bruce Peninsula! Tammy and I brought our foldable Dahon bicycles and we decide to strike out and check out the sights. We first head to Big Tub Harbour which is a few miles away. It's not quite as commercial as Little Tub, and its steep waterfront terrain is lined with beautiful homes and cottages! Then we head back through Tobermory and out to the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, where the Bruce Trail ends. The trail is 773 km long and follows the Niagara Escarpment down around the western edge of Lake Ontario and into the Niagara River. It's the goal of many hikers to walk the entire trail! Not my cup of tea! There's a provincial park here with a wonderful museum, which we wander through. Many of the natural features of the area were formed over the millennia, and much effort is given to showing and explaining how it all came to be!
We all meet back on the docks toward late afternoon and clean up for dinner. We again make reservations for eight, but this time it's at The Grandview Motel & Dining Room, about a mile or so hike north along the east side of Little Tub Harbour. We have a wonderful meal outside. It's been a great day!
