In the middle of forest and lake

So Ottawa was a very nice city! Apparently it has the lowest crime rate in Canada. Kesha took us out for a drink and a Thai dinner (really good) and then we went to see a movie in the mall. After that we were so tired that it was strait to our cell.

The next day we drove to Kiosk the last entry point of Algonquin park. On the way we had a bit of an ironic situation. In the beginning of the drive there were a lot of gas stations. Like every 10 minutes or so. So we thought there's no rush. But then our tank light went on. So we thought oh well, we'll take the next station. Here's the ironic part we didn't come across any. We were in the middle of nowhere. So we drove really slow (to keep the rpm under 1500) not to consume to much gas. After 50 minutes we finally came across a gas station. We were lucky.

Once we arrived in Kiosk we asked the lady at the information desk (Carmen) "what can we do here?" She said canoeing was a good choice but it was already quiet late so we better leave the next morning on a 2 day trip. You have to imagine there was not a lot there exept for a camping ground and a lake. So we said: "we don't really have a tent but we do have sleeping bags and mats" Carmen answered: "Well, I'd advise a tent"

We found a tent at the canoe place, a store owned by a very nice couple. They lent us pots and other cooking gear and gave us some oatmeal and hot chocolate to take on our trip for free. People that have deep and profound respect for nature but who also drive Harley Davidson's across North America to see ZZtop concerts. Yes very interessting people they would hunt moose and beaver and eat that. And be very cautious that their food was organic. They had a lot of humming birds that would come visit their porch. Lorrain, the lady, told us all about spirituality of the native people. She taught us a native song and we sung it while she played the drum made from dear skin (she made herself!). She explained what the rituals where and the way of thinking of this native belief. But this is a head of the time order in which our adventures took place.

Back to canoeing, on the morning that we were supposed to leave it was raining. We decided to go anyway. We had a waterproof map but still got lost. We were really cold and soaked. Luckily it cleared up and the sun came through. We found oursleves a nice camping spot and started to look for firewood. Unfortunatly all the wood we found was very wet. After a lot of effort we managed to cook our food and just when we finished, rain again! The next day was way better. I still have to add that we were eaten alive by mosquitoes and that was not so pleasant!
