Not wanting to stay in the same country we decided to drive all across Canada from East to West and took a month to do it. A great trip but very different to Road Tripping in the USA.
So today is the official start of our trip, Day 1 of a month on the road, its only going to be a travelling day today just getting to Montreal, a trip that should have been easy if not a bit tiring, but because of a certain idiot Russian drunk that literally fell out of the bus to the aircraft and then threw up all over himself on the plane had to be escorted off the flight buy police, but because he was so drunk they had to call for…
Read MoreHi folks well today is our first real full day in Canada and its our last day in Montreal, so what better way to see the city, than with a traditional London double decker open top bus. What a pile of crap that turned out to be. Sure it took us to all the places you might want to see, but you could not get off, because you would never get back on again, despite being a hop on, hop off style trip, if you didn’t get on at the…
Read MoreToday we set off early and headed towards Ottawa which took us about 2 hours to get there, we had no intention of staying overnight in Ottawa but did want to see a fair amount of the countries Capital. we parked up and gave ourselves an hour, (well the fact that we only had $3 in change meant we had 1 hour on the meter). So thanks to a new book we purchased we walked straight to the Parliament building where there is a mounty on horseback, yes very corny…
Read MoreWell last night was great, we got a nice and cheap motel in Peterborough which was across the road from a great steakhouse, the only problem was 2 guys having a very load brawl outside the hotel at about 2am, but we were so tired we managed to get back to sleep easy enough, but we were still awake early this morning (jet lag) so we got off early and headed for Toronto and tapped in the CN tower into the sat nav, and a few hours later we were…
Read MoreToday was a full day and we started it early (no change there then) well actually it was the bedside clock’s fault, it said it was 08:50am and we rushed down to breakfast to find out it was 07:50, so with food in our bellies we checked out and packed up the car and then continued to become tourists good and proper. We had a full days pass to go on all the attractions that Niagara Falls has to offer, we decide to do the “behind the falls walk” first…
Read MoreLast night was a great nights sleep and we are now on the time zone (finally), we had a good meal and a few beers in a bar in town and got to bed fairly early as we were very tired, we seem to be driving about 500km every day just to try and get some distance covered. Anyway today was not much to report on really we just headed for Sault Ste Marie and tried to see if there was anything en-route worth stopping for, as it turned out…
Read MoreToday started off nice with a small breakfast in the hotels lobby, we didn’t do too much last night apart from have a meal and a little walk around the waters edge. We still cant get over the fact that America is just across the water, anyway we set off today with Thunder Bay in mind but at 700km from our starting point we didn’t expect to make it especially if we stop off for some sightseeing. As it turned out about 25 minutes out of town we came across…
Read MoreWell what a night that was, first of all the Motel we staying in turned out not to be quite a good as we were expecting, when we checked in we asked for a quiet room and was told that every room was quiet because we were the only guests staying so we thought great a good nights sleep. So we checked in and got ready to go across the road (literally) to the so called restaurant, it was connected to the gas station and looked more like a cafe…
Read MoreWell Thunder Bay did not look any better after a nights sleep and the sun was even out, so we decided to get out of town and head for Winnipeg, we knew we were not going to make it but we left in the Sat Nav as our destination so we knew how many miles was left to go before we stopped. En-route we stopped for lunch in Fort Francis which was nice the other really weird thing was that this was also across the river from the US, only…
Read MoreWe had a great nights sleep last night and the views this morning from our room was fantastic thanks to the sunny weather, the picture on the right was what we could see from our 4th floor city view room ???. We had breakfast in the hotels restaurant and we had woken up a little early thanks to the 1 hour time change so we were going to get to our next destination in good time today which was Winnipeg some 280km away, we set off at about 9:45 and…
