2019 summer vacation: Day four - From Winnipeg to Ashern

 Ladies and gentlemen!

On the fourth day of my epic summer vacation, I rented a Hyundai Elantra in Winnipeg and drove northwards to Ashern. The weather was outstanding and there were numerous beautiful things to see. Lower Fort Garry was so stunning to visit that it took about two hours. I really liked swimming in the gigantic Lake Winnipeg. You don't need to travel to Florida to find great beaches as there are just as many with less tourists in Manitoba. Gimli is the town with the biggest Icelandic community outside of Iceland and worth a detour. The Narcisse Snake Dens look great but snakes can rather be found in spring and fall than in the summer time.
