Toronto - Kingston

From today, we are traveling by rental car. After a smooth pickup, we started our road trip with some shopping. Once the trunk was loaded with drinks and a few snacks, we were on our way. 

Toronto is now behind us, and Montreal is ahead, with a stop in Kingston along the way. 

Today’s agenda included a little contrast to the city tours of the past days. We found a lovely little hike along the Moira River. Aside from us, there was no one else around, allowing us to catch sight of plenty of frogs and a few Eastern Chipmunks. Unfortunately, we didn’t spot any beavers—only the gnawed tree stumps.

In addition, the 'path' was also a tree trail, and we were able to see, besides Oak, Hickory, Spruce, Birch, Cedar, Ash, and a few others, the first Sugar Maple. 

Sadly, we weren't completely alone. We found many new friends 🥴. The combination of warmth, humidity, and afternoon brought with it a very high bug level 🦟.
