After the ferry trip of about two hours and a drive of an hour and a half, on Thursday afternoon of the 24th we arrived at our B&B in the village of Gore Bay. Gore Bay is on the northern edge of Manitoulin Island and about the middle of the island. It has a population of just over 900 folks and this shot is of the whole place from an escarpment across Gore Bay itself. Our B&B is on the far right side of the picture just above the red roofed marina building.



The Queen's Inn is a wonderful place, built as a hotel in 1880, and extensively renovated with 8 guest rooms now.




Our room was a two-room suite, one with the two twin beds shown here and another room with one similar twin bed. A bath joined the two rooms together.




There are several common areas, all of which have been restored beautifully ... a lot of money went into this place. This is the main sitting room. In addition there is a library, the breakfast room, and a formal dining room for special occaisons.

And our view from the second floor balcony where you could sit in the pleasant 60 degree air and sip some wine and watch the boats come and go in the afternoon.
