A good relaxing day in Tobermory. We left the rental cottage at 10:30 and headed the short distance back into Tobermory downtown. We found the Belrose Inn, the rooms were above the Marco Polo Trading Post. The hallways were a little musty but the rooms were clean and adequate.

Ralf and I were last in Tobermory about 24 years ago. We had rented a cottage for the week on the Bruce Peninsula. Tobermory hasn’t changed very much, a few more touristy shops. The area is very popular with scuba divers, as there are a lot of shipwrecks in the area that are in quite shallow waters. The Bruce Peninsula is also very popular with walkers/hikers.

It was nice to spend the day being tourists.

We wandered down one side of Little Tub Harbour and then down the other side.

We were back at our room at about 3:00 pm. We had to eat out as there was nowhere to cook in the room. We had a long ride to Owen Sound tomorrow where we had another warmshowers host.

After eating our body weight in pizza we waddled back to our room. At 9:00 pm a band from a local bar started to play. They carried on playing past midnight, even though I had earplugs in I could still hear them. They were good and were playing some nice music, but… I needed my sleep.
