In order to catch the first ferry to South
Baymouth on Manitoulin Island, we and our friends set out at midnight from
London, Ontario. We gathered in front of the parking lot in Real Canadian
Superstore. Under the starry sky, we drove to Tobermory, the top of the Bruce
Peninsula. Along the way very dark, cannot see both sides of the road, we drive
carefully.

The day before dawn, we

chill, but the port of Tobermory has long team of passenger and car. People in
the morning quietly waiting. I imagine the moment that the bow of the cruise

more than 200 kilometers from Toronto through Sudbury, through a bridge,

same.

South Baymouth, just as
its name implies, it is located at the entrance of South Bay. The early
inhabitants of this town, called Sagradawawong, mean "the outlet",
which reflects its important geographical location. The late 1880s, the arrival
of Europeans, and gradually become fishing stations and ports. In 1932, the
communication with the Bruce Peninsula ferry, driving a car is very convenient

Cup & Soucer Trail, a
trail on the cliff, one of Ontario's most famous Trail, about 12 km. It is the
highest point on the Manitoulin Island, 356 meters above sea level, and 70
meters high cliff has two kilometers long. However, the most spectacular
scenery is here. Standing on the edge of the cliffs, the green forest as the
same as the green carpet unfold as endless as the fantasy. Mosaic in the middle
of the lake, the shuttle of the river, increase the spiritual power. To meet
the breeze, downwind pure, fresh breath. To look over the high cliff fault,
often reveals the white rock, greet the dawn coming. Feelings such as all sorts
of taste, cannot express, only one thing: just stood overlooking, let the time
stop passing.
