Our last few days in the camper. We took the vehicle ferry to Prince Edward Island and drove around all its bays and peninsulas. It was pretty but not exceptional. This is a lake on the island, which is in a lake (Lake Ontario).
The next day (day 22) we had our first rain. We had been to look at the suspension bridge near the locks on the River Trent (not the River Trent as I know it!!) then after a coffee at Tim Hortons it started to drizzle 
We can't complain, after 21 days of sunshine, but it curtailed our plans a little. We drove to Petroglyphs Provincial Park where there are petroglyphs carved into the rocks by First Nations tribes between 600 and 1100 years ago. Luckily they are inside a building (to protect them) so we could view them without getting wet - and there was an adjacent visitors centre where we saw a short film about the carvings, etc. Photography isn't allowed at the site unfortunately.

This is from the information centre at the petroglyphs and shows what they are like (sort of)
Sunny again today - we drove through the Kawartha Lakes region. The temperature has plunged this last couple of days from around 30 degrees to around 17! This is the World's (or Canada's, possibly Ontario's) highest hydraulic lock
