    I've compiled a list of things to do if you're in Kingston, Ontario based on our recent travels to the area. I highly recommend the Kingston Pen tour. What activity do you think you'd like best?

      Is Kingston rent for a 1 bedroom more expensive than Kitchener or London ON ? I wonder what is the best place to live of these.

    Kingston Ontario is beautiful. I’ve never been there and hoping I could visit one day. Thanks for showing us around.

    I like the idea of taking a bicycle around town or kayaking while there. It is so beautiful. Also, the brewery might be nice as well. Safe travels!

    I was born and raised in Peterborough so this was such an interesting video for me! I really never thought much about all the cool places that were "close" to me growing up. I'm new to your channel and looking forward to checking out more. Thanks for sharing :)

    It would be awesome to ride a bicycle by that beach, looking very nice. Brewing and culinary experiences are always the most attractive things for us while traveling. Those tacos were looking really good. Going on a cruise would be something we would love to do in the Kingston area for sure!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  3 роки тому

      I really liked how many waterfront trails they had. The culinary selections were actually quite diverse and so many to choose from!

    Locomotive 1095 was built about 200 meters from where it sits at the now defunct Canadian Locomotive Company. It was the second largest such factory in the British Empire 🍁

    You forgot two major points about Kingston - 1. Rent is criminally high.
    2. A great, great city if you never want to get laid.

    Awesome vlog guys! I wish i was good at water sports LOL. I've never been to Kingston but the KP tour looked really cool and I'd love to try those fish tacos!! That's one of my favorite dishes 😋

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  3 роки тому

      I'm not good at water sports either... I'd be swimming beside my kayak or paddle board if I rented one! The food was great and the KP tour was so interesting :)

    So many great options in Kingston. We would have to rent some paddleboards and hit up some breweries. The ghost tour sounded pretty interesting too.
    The tacos near the end were huge and looked delicious!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  3 роки тому

      The paddleboarding looked really cool but it was very rough waters so we would have just been swimming beside our paddle boards 😂

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  3 роки тому +1

      The prison tour was so cool. There were even former prison guards inside (either volunteering or working?) to tell you personal stories of working there. It was so cool to hear about the riots.

    Wayne is a fan of forts, as long as they not super touristy. It would be fun to kayak. That is a long time for a penitentiary to be running! Wayne has been to Kingston, but very briefly. Which was your favorite of these activities?

  • @DjusLife
    @DjusLife 3 роки тому +3

    We love food and we love a great craft brew. Most excited to try local offerings in kingston at both breweries, we always try to go to a local brewery in any new city and we love fish tacos :) 🌮
