Paying for rocks??????

Sir Bob (Geldof) can't have been thinking about Victoria Day when he sang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yteMugRAc0 . Mondays aren't all that bad. Especially when it's a holiday!!

Our Monday started with French Toast and guess what for breakfast. Life is good!!! With the owners seemingly away we left a note saying we'd fix them up with a cheque from home. "Trust us we're Lifesavers ". It was a great cabin or more accurately it was three cabins; a bedroom cabin, a kitchen/ lounge room cabin and a shower cabin. All three were good.




















Julie was keen to call in at the sister shop to the 10 Mile Trading Post we had visited yesterday, it took a mere two hours to walk out with a couple of very expensive rocks from the Treasure Cove Gallery.



Actually it would be more be much more accurate to tell the truth. We spent 2 hours looking at a wonderful gallery full of art, carvings, books, music and speciality gifts all relating to the rich First Nation heritage of Canada. We are going to come home with two carvings which will be a poignant reminder of our time in Canada.

There was one last item on Ella's List and that was a Farquhar's Ice Cream. These ice creams have ben a favourit on Manitoulin Island for many years, and the"Moose Tracks" waffle cone passed the ultimate test from the from the Queen of the Ice Cream Appreciators. Mrs Frost said it was lovely!!!!

Finally over the one lane swing bridge http://www.outdoorwebsite.com/The%20road%20to%20Manitoulin.htm and back towards home on a fairly busy highway. Arrived home via Lake Joseph in time to do the shopping and then watch the Boston Bruins v Tampa Bay. 

What a great weekend. I amazed myself (and probably Julie) by driving all nine hundred and thirty seven kilometres (582 miles) WHOOOOOO!!!!!
