We were up at 6am and gone from the trailer by 645 to drive to South Bay Mouth on Manitoulin Island to catch the Ferry over to Tobermory to spend the day. The ferry ride is just under 2 hours and when we arrived we met up with Hubby's brother and family who were spending the weekend. We hung out at their campground, had lunch and then headed back to the docks to get on a glass bottom boat tour. It took 2 hours and we were able to see ship wrecks and toured around Flower Pot Island. You can actually transfer off the Tour Boat onto a Zodiak and spend the day exploring the island or even camp there too! After the tour was done, we found some supper, had some ice cream and explored some of the shops around the water front. We caught the 8pm ferry back to South Bay Mouth and we were back at the trailer by 1130 that night. It made for a very long day, but the kids and the dog were so well behaved and they slept the entire truck ride from the ferry back to camp. What a great way to celebrate our 16th Wedding Anniversay!!!!
