Day 3 - On to Kingston

Leaving our motel under a fairly sunny morning sky, we set out for Kingston - Canada's oldest town, they say. The motel introduced us to what we realise has become the norm for Canadian motel breakfasts - weak coffee, juice, bagels, bread or waffles all served entirely with disposable plastic.


Large, mostly industrial/bedroom suburban townships extend well out of Toronto along the lakeshore and railway line. The prevalence of high/medium rise appartments near either shore or railway station was noteworthy.
 


Eventually pleasant old rural/tourist/retirement towns predominated.
Regretfully, rain set in, preventing us from visiting and walking in provincial parks that we had planned. 
 
 

A ferry ride just out of Picton added to the interest of the trip, as did the welcome to Kingston - a seemingly quite opulent penitentiary.
