As we near the end of this trip we decided to ride a few ferrys - always fun on a bike trip. From Watertown New York we travelled a few miles to Cape Vincent and caught a small ferry to Wolfe Island Ontario. The always officious Canadian Customs officials let us back into Canada without too much hassle and we then drove across Wolfe Island to catch the ferry over to Kingston.
Wolfe Island must be the windmill capital of Ontario. The whole island seems to be covered with them. Unlike the Cape Vincent ferry, the ferry to Kingston had a long line up of cars. We drove to the end of the line and were waiting patiently when the fellow directing traffic told us to skip the line and park down on the dock ahead of all the cars. It seems bikes get loaded first (finally some preferential treatment!) which was great with us.
While in Kingston we toured the Correctional Service of Canada Museum and got to see just how small a Jail cell really is.
From Kingston we took the Bath Road ( Hwy 33) down to the Glenora Ferry and had a short crossing of the Bay of Quinte. Highway 33 from Kingston to Picton, along the coast of the Bay of Quinte is one of Ontario's most picturesque roads.
