We got to Tobermory on the tip of the Bruce peninsula which is the place you catch the ferry to Manitoulin Island. Because of the ferry times and the distance from Meaford we elected to stay the night in Tobermory and catch the first ferry the next morning. We did some minimal research, in the end too minimal, and selected the Grandview Motel as our place for the night. Well the internet ads and AAA hype for the place were way over rated ... this was a maximum one star place and even less ...
Nice location and view but there the amenities ended ... The motel and room were right out of the 50's and while clean and quiet, nothing else was included for the $104. No iron or board, no telephone, no tissue, no extra towels ... TV was up on the wall Motel 6 style ... pretty basic.
But then we walked down to the Tobermory town center and hit the local pub in the place upstairs in the photo below and had their burger which was awesome. That was probably the best burger we have had in a long time ... and then washed down with a couple of Stella Artois beers ... yes, the night is good.
And the Chi Cheemaun was waiting with her snout open to take us the next morning ... Thursday ... over to Manitoulin Island.
Still a cool rainy 60ish kinda day and evening ... nice but wish the rain would stop for a consistent time.
