Kingston is situated east of Toronto, and at the edge of Lake Ontario (which then flows into the St Lawrence River). It has a population of approximately 113,000 and was briefly the capital of Canada. It is also well known for Queens University (est. 1841) and obviously its' water front previously used as a fur trading depot. One of the other appeals of Kingston is it red-brick Victorian homes and 19th century greystone buildings.
Angela, Trena, Martin and I travelled to Kingston after our day trip cruise of the Thousand Islands. We also discovered the shopping, plus Martin and I had time for coffee - of course! What a beautiful way to spend the afternoon. For those at home, it has a similiar feel to Bathurst, Keppel St. etc.
