<\/a><\/p>\nTraveling on the river was quite a change for me after spending over a month on the (much narrower) Rideau River & Canal System.<\/p>\n
Levi had a turn at the helm for a while & he handled the boat like a pro.<\/p>\n
His mom did a pretty good job too!<\/p>\n John found a comfortable chair & focused on some relaxation. His turn to steer was coming. This is the way to travel!<\/p>\n We arrived at Montebello about 4:00pm. Over the years I have heard lots about this famous hotel\/resort but it was my first time here. All I can say is \u201cWow\u201d.<\/p>\n Photo above & below: the boaters lounge at the marina.<\/p>\n The hotel was opened in 1930 & it is the largest log building in the world. The logs used to construct it came from British Columbia.<\/p>\n This is not an inexpensive place to stay but our cost at the resort\u2019s marina was reasonable as we were on the \u201cBYOB\u201d (bring your own bed) rate plan.<\/p>\n Photo above: full house at the marina – Santosha is out there somewhere.<\/p>\n We had a great dinner in the hotel lounge (Levi was especially happy with his choice) & then we explored the rest of the main lodge area.<\/p>\n Photo below: Outside one of the wings of the main lodge<\/p>\n Photo below: the main lobby\/reception area.<\/p>\n Photo below: I think I know these people.<\/p>\n Photo below: the swimming pool.
