I finally had the opportunity to go away on a vacation. A friend from work invited me to go up to Tobermory with him and his wife and niece. The cottage we rented was a good choice as it had a beautiful view and beach on Lake Huron. The bottom was all rock. Solid rock with a few boulders here and there on the bottom and the water was crystal clear. The water was fairly warm and since there are all kinds of deep drop offs you could dive and really play around. We all went into town on our first day and took a boat tour to some wreaks that you could see soooo clearly. It also took us out to flower pot island. We were hoping to get off but we ended up on the wrong tour and our boat didn't stop. Kathy at work had told us about a few attractions other than the boat that we had to see like, Big Tub bakery which had the best butter tarts I have ever had and the Grotto at Cypress Lake National Park. We purchased and rented snorkle equipment and took that with us to the park. I can't tell you how much fun I had snorkling. I bought an underwater camera and got a few pictures and the second underwater camera that Ali bought got a leek and none of the pictures I took at the grotto turned out. I was sooooo disappointed because I got some real good shots and a man took a picture of me waving back up from underwater right near the entrance to an underwater cave. On the way home we stopped at a place called Greig's Caves. They were spectacular! It was very exciting and Gay and Nacy you should take the boys. You would have a hard time getting them to leave its so fun! So, here are the pictures that I do have of my trip.
Top: The cottage. There was a sand there then it turned to flat rock. We were given the use of their Kayak as well. Bottom: Ella, Colin & Hillary standing on the rocky shore in town close to where divers were going in.
Top: The wreak in Big Tub Harbour Bottom: Small flowerpot on Flowerpot Island
Top: Myself, Colin & Ella on "Kilimanjaro"(that's what we named this little rock shoal) having morning breakfast Bottom: Myself and Hillary on the docks in Tobermory
Top: Ali(Colin's friend from T.O.), Colin, Ella & Hillary on the cottage deck enjoying a brew while Colin sharpens my axe. Bottom: Ali, Colin, Ella and Hillary going down the trail to the caves.
Top: Myself, Hillary & Colin deep inside one of the caves Bottom: Myself standing on a path that takes you deeper inside one of the caves.
Top: Ella and Colin standing at the mouth of a cave. It looks like it could be set in Central America. It was so green and rugged. Bottom: I took this picture from inside a cave looking out. The cave was huge! It went a fair ways back too. I was not very far into the cave when I took the picture.
Myself, Hillary and Colin on the docks at Tobermory heading off to look at the Three Tugs Wreaks for snorkling.
