Grand Bend, ON, Canada

During work I had a couple of days off in a row so decided to do something a little different. I bought a tent from Walmart, hired a car and drove across Ontario to Grand Bend over on Lake Huron one of the great lakes. It was a long and boring drive but when I was eventually there the lake was beautiful. The great lakes are where a lot of people in Ontario go on holiday and they call the lake the beach. Very different kind of beach than I'm used to.

The beach at Grand Bend. Grand Bend is a very popular beach for people in Ontario and even during the week the Beach got crazy busy. While I was there Ontario was in the middle of a heat wave with temperatures getting up to 40 Degrees Celsius. The water here was beautiful to swim in and it is hard to believe that during the winter the lake will actually freeze over.

Lake Huron in the morning. It was already hot enough to swim and it was 7 o'clock. The lakes are massive and it is like your looking out to sea until you get into the water and don't have the salty taste.

The beach early in the morning. Was a lot less busy at this time.
