May 18th - Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island, Michigan

Thought I would post a few photos of this amazing hotel and the surrounding grounds. So here goes, starting with a couple of photos from our suite. The first is of one of the two four poster beds we have in our room.


Next, how's this for a bathroom cabinet!


A close up of the wonderful facade.


..and the wonderful flower beds in front of the hotel.



This seemed rather out of place!!


Looking up at the hotel across the gardens with, in the centre, a long bed of magnificent  red and yellow tulips.


The woods in the grounds carpeted in daffodils and narcissi.

  1. Well, Tim, I just watched Millwall win 2-0 over Huddersfield, and they really have a great chance against Swindon at Wembley!
    Your progress continues to be very colourful and interesting; I must compliment you on the pictures you're taking, but please don't expect us to sit and look at them for hours when you next come to Malibu!Of course, we do have a lot of great photos of Trevor you might like to see!
    Keep the reports coming. Cheers, Les

    Hello Tim and Wendy, What a wonderful trip you're having! I spent many months on Mackinac Island many years ago and loved it - no cars, only horses - and the smell of lilacs in the summer. Your photos of Ottawa are great - make me homesick! Cheers, Ellie Nickerson (Malibu)
