Ontario And Quebec 2017: Day 5 - River Otter Cabin

[Melbatb]

Another early start for me but the rest of the family managed a lie in!

After breakfast (toast, cereal and coffee) we got everything packed up! We decided to have a last walk to some falls to stretch our legs! We picked up coffee as well from a local chain - boy was it bitter!

This made us laugh - it was going so slow that it was almost going backwards! Weight wise - not very balanced!

There were lots of these monuments dotted around Ottawa showing a relief map of the actual area.

We got back to the apartment, packed up the car and by 11am we were off to our next destination.

We stopped at Michael's craft store as F wanted to visit! Thankfully not much purchased!

We pressed on to Perth - about a 90 minute drive. We decided we would have lunch here, stock up in the supermarket and then head out to the next cottage!

We parked up and found this pub. It was busy - always a good sign!

J had a roasted veg pizza! O had fish and chips, F a veggie burger and me felafel tacos. We all agreed it was lovely! Cost was C$72 plus tip!

The cottage was about a 30 minute drive. It is at the end of the toad so no passing traffic.

It is a lovely cottage - very rustic but it has a nice feeling about it.

We unpacked - the kids are upstairs and we have a room downstairs.

And the reason why we chose this cottage - on the river!

And the view down stream!

The only downside is that due to the rainy spring/early summer there are tons of mozzies. They are slow and easy to kill but even with spray and citronella bracelets we are being bitten

It didn't take long for the kids and J to get into the water!

While I looked at the wildlife!

And some more!

The kids started to get hungry so dinner was made!

We tried going outside but even with jeans and socks we were getting attacked. We decided a drive to see the lay if the land was a good idea!

But not before a sunset photo!

More wildlife - what a treat!

We worked out that on one direction there was nothing, the other had a small village with a few shops. Perth was looking lively

Plenty of laughs were had in the car though - many at J's expense!

Back at the house Uno was played before we decided it was time to go to bed - hopefully the house is mosquito free!
