Pelee Island

With our week of holidays, we decided to stay local and explore our new surroundings. The first destination of choice was nearby Pelee Island, a short ninety-minute ferry ride from the shores of Lake Erie. On Monday morning, we headed out for an early departure from Kingsville....

Graced with excellent weather, we spent two days exploring the small but interesting island. Having already visited the eastern-most point in North America (Cape Spear, NFLD) and the western shores of Vancouver Island (Tofino, BC), we could now add Pelee Island as the southern-most point in Canada as well....leaving only the unknown North to complete the Canadian compass...

Wildlife, wineries, and well-deserved relaxation highlighted our memorable stay in the middle of Lake Erie.
