I woke up this morning to the sound of rain and decided that it would be a great day to finish unpacking. Having accomplished that and discovered the clouds had dispersed leaving it sunny and hot outside I went back to plan A and drove out to Regina Beach 70km from Regina. Regina Beach is best described as an active summer village although many folks live there year round. Between summer and winter fishing derby's, their very own triathlon, art festivals and fowl dinners it seems like a fairly happening place to hang out at.
It was your typical beach scene, beach volleyball, families spread out on blankets and towels, bikinis and board shorts, boats with tubes trailing behind them and kids splashing around in the water.
Not being much for crowds to begin with I started to explore a trail the seemed to border the lake. Turns out it wasn't the short trail I had anticipated it to be. The South Shore Trail follows what used to be railroad tracks. The rails are gone leaving behind a decent pathway joining the communities along Last Mountain Lake.
The real reason I decided to turn around was my need for food. Having heard from multiple sources that if one were to ever make their way to Regina Beach then a stop at the Blue Bird Cafe for "the best ever" fish and chips would be in order.
They didn't disappoint!
