If you have the opportunity to stay at Shannon's home, definitely take it. It's beautiful! And Shannon is a wonderful host. She made me so welcome, I felt completely at home, and it was great to chat with her about travel and all sorts of things during my stay. She also makes delicious breakfasts! Her home is a short walk from downtown Ganges and is set in an oasis of trees, flowers and beautiful views down to the water. Pure balm for the travellers soul. I can't recommend Shannon highly enough. She's so kind and thoughtful, and if you're fortunate enough to be able to stay at her home, you'll have a fabulous time. (Also, Sam the cat is adorable.)
