Kingston

< -- spending hours behind the wheel. Stuck in Montreal.

Kingston -- >


Travelled near Sherbrooke to see some of the lovely countryside. It's just getting green now.

Then got to Montreal late, and a truck lost its 30 tonne load on the highway, so us and three lanes got diverted off, with no clue, and a big old mess. Stopped to feed Ollie, found a side street and went along strangely quickly given that it sounded all the other routes were not doing well. Got into Kingston late. Found a strange woman runnning a B&B in a nice place.

Kingston has plenty of beautful old stone buildings, and as per usual, the most expensive real estate, next to the river, was stuffed up by some hideous high rise buildings. Some in the process of still going up, so too bad they don't appreciate what would attract people to the town.

< -- Royal Military College -->

Visited the Royal Military College across the causeway, which is luckily protected from the developers.
