Last weekend the family went to a holiday house on the Bruce Peninsula which is between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay in Ontario. The cottage was on the Georgian Bay side where the landscape is more rugged with cliffs and rocky shores. The Bruce Peninsula is highly wooded with a walking trail which runs the length and all the way to Niagara Falls. The rocks are limestone, shale and sandstone and it is not uncommon to find fossils which are up to 500 million years old.
There are many cliffs which contain caves and grottos and we had an explore of one set of caves one morning.
In Australia we are spoiled for choice of beautiful wide, white sandy beaches but at this cottage on Georgian Bay the shore was white but it was whitish stone of various sizes. They were interesting with holes and fossils visible. The cottage owners had made stone steps going down to the water and it was fun to rock hop around exploring. Big slabs of rock were under the water which were smooth but slippery according to those brave enough to go into the cold water.
We had a great time going for walks in the forest, relaxing looking over the water, playing board games and eating the fantastic meals my sister organized. The weather has warm, over 30 degrees.
It was very nice indeed!
