We've never been here before, usually opting to go into downtown Kingston. Our friends Keith and Madeleine of Elan like it here, and we thought we'd give it a try.
It is a lovely spot, beautiful grounds, well protected, but.....
Just on the other side of the bay to the north is a road, and a busy railway. We saw at least a dozen VIA and freight trains go by this afternoon. They aren't loud, but their whistles are, as there must be a level crossing close by. Just to the south, there is the Kingston Airport. The small planes weren't bad, but a few bigger Air Canada planes gave me a scare. A couple of helicopters rounded out the excitement. We were told the trains stop after 7:00pm, but heard them until after 10:0pm. We did have a good night's sleep though.
