August 27

After sleeping at Kilmarnock, I awoke well rested for a later start. We had a bite to eat then paddled Merrickville for good bacon and eggs breakfast. We decided to go to the park to stay. We booked the last campsite at Rideau River Park and checked into a great spot, (#9) near the showers. We walked almost four kms to the Fireside Grill on a golf course for a nice dinner. We will sleep well tonight.  Only 51km to Ottawa.
