Last Sunday we drove up to the Severn Falls. The day was forecasted to be 13 deg Celsius and sunny. It was a nice sunny morning in Mississauga. As we were approaching the township of Coldwater, the weather started to become funny. The thick dark clouds and cold winds begun to clothe the place. Oh no! Not again. We were lightly wrapped for that kind of weather. Herbert called Rick to take something to shield us from the cold when driving with the boat.

At the Severn Falls Marina, it was so quite. The shops and restaurant were closed so we had no place stay away from the chilly winds. After just a few minutes Rick and Stacia came to meet us. We board the boat and braced ourselves for the ride. The moment we got into the cottage, came the strong winds and snowfall. Unbelievable, snowfall at the end of May! This really is Canada (lol).

We had tea and some snacks while chatting away the time, waiting for the sun to come out. Surely enough, after an hour the sky was clear so we decided to go out to the deck. Oh, the sunshine was lovely. At least it kept us warm a little bit. While the ladies were busy chatting, the gents enjoyed themselves playing the "horseshoe".

Later on, we drove to the Big Chute. We were so lucky this time to see the marine railway at work. It was in the process of transporting several canoes to the other side of the river. The view was awesome. We spent sometime in the area and drove back to the marina.

sunny but cold, brrrr!

It was time for lunch so we went to Waterfront Restaurant. The place is perfectly situated at the marina giving us a good view of the river and the port. It looked to be a clean and decent place. As we scanned through the menu, it was quite surprising to see some German dishes. At least my Parents-in-Laws have something to eat. We find the food really good and reasonably priced but the portion is quite too much. After lunch, we had to drive back to avoid heavy traffic.

I am glad that my Parents-in-Law enjoyed the day.
