The Water Wonderland of the 1000 Islands in Kingston

Have you been to the 1000 islands in Kingston in Ontario CANADA?

Recently, I did...... 

....and it is an experience beyond compare. Going to Kingston is just a little over 2 hours from Toronto where you can take a cruise to the the wonder of Kingston ~ the famous 1000 Islands?  It is the highlight of my trip to the historical city though there are other attractions that you must see.

Not too many know that the city of Kingston is called by the nickname "Limestone City."


It is merely because many heritage buildings constructed with the use of local limestone.

Montreal is One of Canada's Best Cities

I have explored the city of Montreal a couple of times. It is pretty cool out there.

Come with me and let us re-visit the largest french-speaking city.

Montreal is situated in the south of Canada’s Quebec province and framed between its famed peak, Mont Royal and the St Lawrence River, located only 37 miles (60 km) from the country’s border with the U.S.A. If you are travelling to the U.S., you may want to come by in this Canadian city.

Montrealers speak French at home but language is not a hindrance to enjoy your stay as most locals also speak the English language.

Montreal has its multicultural population just like Toronto, however, it has much to offer for tourists in the form of more than 30 treasure filled museums, year round cultural events and festivals like the Fête des Neiges, the International Jazz Festival and the Film Festival.
