On Friday after my work we drove to Huntsville with a rental car. On our way there, we saw beautiful scenery and it had snowed a little bit. We stayed at the Hidden Valley resort, which was situated at a lake and had a ski hill beside it. The hill was not open anymore and therefore it was very quiet in the hotel. We got a bottle of red wine upon arrival and that night we went early to bed.
The next morning we started with a hot breakfast and drove north-east to Algonquin National Park. We'd decided to hike the track and tower trail, which was about 7,5 km long and promised lakeside views. The trail showed us beautiful places and everything looked even nicer because the sun was shining. Half-way we found a fallen tree on a pond, where we sat down and ate our home-made sandwiches. The park is full with wildlife and we saw three moose beside the road. They were very calm and even posed while people were taking pictures.
After the hike we went back to the town of Huntsville where we had a snack and well deserved beer and cider. The town is very idyllic and the buildings and boutiques were renovated in the old style. There even was a bakery called "Schat", which means honey in Dutch :)
When we woke up this morning the world was white.. it had snowed a few cm. Such a big difference with Saturday, when the sun was shining the whole day.
We fell in love with Huntsville and its surrounding area. We'll definitely go back in the summer. It's worthwhile visiting. Hopefully some day we can own our cottage there :)
