Long Point Provincial Park



Visited the day use area of Long Point Provincial Park back in July 2020 and the water was unbelievably flat (little waves created by a seadoo/ or jetski, think of an infinity pool that is huge! 

I’ve read from blogs that Lake Erie is one day super calm and super wavy the next, boy that’s so true.  This Great Lake really packs a wave, and notorious for undertow currents that makes it dangerous for non-swimmers.

We were here for an overnight early fall camping in Monarch campground (site # 358) yesterday and the water is 
cold and lots of waves but that didn’t stop us from dipping!
Lots of room to physical distance from anyone outside our  bubble. 

We reserved site #358, it was premium site but quite open and facing the lane way.  We just had to park and re-park in a way that covers our picnic area, and our tent at night for a bit of a privacy.

Leisurely walked along campgrounds and ‘shop’ campsites for our next year’s camping trip! 
Campers I find everywhere are generally happy, and the only thing I’m gladly to find contagious! 

The only thing that spoiled our (not the whole experience) was during dinner prep when our  neighboring 6-guy campers across from us who locks our vehicle 3 times remotely everytime I unlock it with my own keyfob. I knew it was those d-bags sitting across our campsite.  Confronted the balls-less campers the 3rd  time and of course pretended they weren’t involved.  After they were busted, they stopped messing and interfering with our lock,  I guess smashing their little peanuts must’ve hurt. Ouch!  I reported it to the park warden and even provided the number for OPP just in case it escalated to something, but thank God no need for that call.  

Overall, we had a GREAT TIME and will be back to LPPP!






Checking where to pitch the tent up.


This ones another campsite that has ‘into the woods’ vibe.

PALAWAN

Boarded on a 20-seater Dornier aircraft on a 3500 altitude for 75 minutes made my mom say: “Never board on a small aircraft again”. Though the flight from Manila to EL Nido airport went well, the sound of the airport made my brain lights up as it’s going to be a huge one. I was wrong. From there we hopped on a jeep that looks more like a mini-bus, which people could literally stand up on the roomy inside of it. Quite lucky we were not packed that day, I can already imagine the scenario in the sweltering hot summer days! It was a 15-minute uphill and downhill ride to the seaport of the small town of El Nido. The trail was never far copied from the breezy trail of Tagaytay. Though I have never been, mom told me that the small town mimics the site of Boracay, and the ambiance by the day. There was no doubt that freshest of the fresh air filled our lungs up, while those eyes who boarded on that jeep, darted on the town’s untouched winding scenery. Moments later we set foot the

Hanlan's Point Nudist Beach Canada

Image
Who would have thought that someone like me would go to such place? Funny, but my friend and I did, on one hot sunny day of 2008, everything went well according to plan. Toronto Island, where a complainer wouldn’t pass the b risk walkers’ standards to walk along the loooooong trail in a hot and sweaty summer day! So, renting a bike for $7 an hour was the only option as I categorized my friend as one bitchy complainer. We had lunch on one of the several empty park benches in a picnic area, hoping there would be no caterpillars accidentally dangling and clinging to its dear life from the big shadowy tree aside.  ~Toronto Island~ X-mark the spot. Hanlan’s Point.   Imagine the bravery within us to discover what really a nudist beach is. On the way, we couldn’t really help ourselves but to giggle and somewhat focus our attention with what’s gonna lay our eyes, expectedly. We held our bikes on our side while walking, and keep asking one another, ‘where is it?’, ‘where is it?’ It’s a

Bon Echo Provincial Park

We had an early start to our day on the way to Bon Echo Provincial Park,  so we captured this beautiful burst of sunshine- one of the perks of driving early aside from less traffic!  We rented a canoe to see the majestic hundred meter cliff,  Mazinaw Rock (Algonquin word for “writing”) with wonderful pictographs that dated hundred years ago by Indigenous people.  To rent a canoe during peak season, you have to line up early, as there are a lot of people waiting to rent one.  We came at 7:40AM and there were more than 20 people already in line. Canoe/ kayak is the only way to see the Mazinaw Rock up close.  The paddle is about 10-15 minutes, and water’s super calm when there are no boats crossing between the lower and upper Mazinaw lake.  One part of the huge rock formations, is a rock-climbers mecca, only registered climbers are allowed to climb the rock.  There were 5 walk-in campsites by the water, facing the Mazinaw Rock, and would be wonderful to be camping-in on one of those sites
