Algonquin Provincial Park
Went camping in Algonquin Park a few hours north of Toronto with Kjetil (it's pronounced shettle, he's Norwegian) and Warren (Australian) for 2 nights. There were supposed to be more but the other aussies fell out with Warren and have now actually moved out so it's now just Jess and Warren in 37.
It's the peak colour weekend, unfortunately the weather didn't realise that when we were walking along the trails; It was raining slightly, not enough to make it uncomfortable to walk through but it did make the views less spectacular although still very nice but it didn't show in the pictures.
It cleared up after we had finished walking around and we were able to get out on the canoe on 2 River Lake beside our capsite. I expected us to capsize so I didn't take my camera out, we didn't and we made it to the island.
Lighting the fire was fun. It took lots of time and lots of wood. Kjetil managed to get lost going to fetch some more from a straight 20m walk away, it was quite worrying until he showed up from another direction with a bag of kindling over 20 minutes later.
Back out in the canoe on Sunday but this time on Canoe Lake. We landed a couple of times at points which it looked like we could stop and not come back to find we had no canoe.
We never saw any animals which when you're camping can be a good thing but hoped to see some bears or moose when we were out in the car, some beautiful scenery though. Came back and finished the weekend off by going to the pho shop for pad thai while the other 2 both had pho.
