One moment we were home, the next moment we were in St. John's, then we were in Quebec City, now we were in Thunder Bay. Where does the time go?
When we arrived in Thunder Bay in the early morning, giving us more time to see the attractions of the area, I thought it woul
d be cool to wander around the famous sleeping giant. The sleeping giant is a peninsula close to Thunder Bay. The only problem was we had to find the boat that would take us to the peninsula. Lucky for us, a local citizen pointed us the way to find the boat, which would take us to the sleeping giant. When we got to the boat, the guy checking the tickets said that in order to buy tickets you would have to order them a week before time, therefore, we could not aboard the boat, so we went out for dinner, then back to the hotel called the Prince Arthur Waterfront. The beautiful thing about the hotel is that it overlooked the sleeping giant.In the Morning, it was off to the land of Gouda! Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10am the cheese farm, Thunder Oak Cheese, allows you to watc
h the process of how the cheese is made. Thunder Oak Cheese Farm is the only farm in Ontario that makes Gouda cheese. When we reached the farm, we entered the building to a strong scent of Gouda cheese. The workers gave us a tour of the farm and showed us the process of making good cheese. Near the end of the tour, my mom bought a small, very small package of Gouda cheese to take on the trip, but as soon as she opened the package, our rented Toyota smelled like Gouda cheese for the rest of the day.Thunder Bay was fun, but we cut our trip short to only three days instead of six, so we could get to Kelowna sooner and climb up mountains!
Kelowna, here we come!
