Picture one is of the 8 step lock lock system that will take us off the Ottawa water and on to the Rideau Canal. Pic two is the sign that greeted us at the lock.
Pic three is where we stayed the night at the bottom of the locks and by the lock gates. Here they are letting the water out for us to start our trip up the locks. At 9:30 we started our trip up with a house boat. Two hours later, we were finally through lock #8 and tied off to the walls (wooden docks at the wall) downtown on the canal. It was raining and cool. We walked around town, went through the Parliament buildings and went back to the boat, turned on the
heat and had supper. They charge $9.50 a night for electric. It was an awesome trip up the locks to see the parliament buildings coming into sight.
