Ottawa Day 3 & 4

Gatineau Hills, Kanata Theatre, Ottawa River Cruise and Hog's Back Falls ...

Brooke, Sandy, Ann and Rosie on our drive up into the Gatineau Hills on the Quebec side of Ottawa 

Guess who! 

Anne and Sandy at Kingsmere, the summer retreat of a wartime Canadian Prime Minister, McKenzie-King 

The main lookout in the Gatineau Hills 

Lunch in the small town of Wakefield 

Rosie and Brooke walking back to the car after lunch 

Brooke took us to have a look at Kanata Theatre. Now this is some amateur theatre, as you can see! 

The stage and facilities were fabulous - as good as many professional theatres 

The next day was still sunny but more humid. A cruise on the Ottawa River was the plan for the morning 

The view of the locks on the Ottawa Canal, this time from on the Ottawa River

The oldest bridge across the Ottawa River, the Alexandra Bridge 

View of the Canadian Parliament buildings from the River 

The Rideau Falls into the Ottawa River

Along the Gatineau River that runs into the Ottawa River 

Oh what a feeling! After the River Cruise we headed back into Ottawa city centre

The old Railway Station building in Ottawa 

At the Hog's Back Falls about 10 kms from the centre of Ottawa 

More of the Hog's Back Falls ... 

And even more! 

That evening we were very kindly invited to dinner by Mary and Jim, very close friends of Brooke and Rosie

Martha, Mary and Jim's daughter, was there as well. It was a great night, with fabulous food and lots of laughs!
