Catch up!

Have had a few days without internet so will try to remember everything we have done!

3 October - met up with Lejla (from Adelaide - now residing in Toronto). Had our first taste of Poutine - a Canadian staple consisting of gravy, chips and bean curds. It took me a while to come to grips with the concept but must admit it was delicious and filling - didn't need to eat for the rest of the day.

After a walk around town Lejla took us across to the Toronto Islands on the ferry.  We walked around out there and it was just beautiful. Cool and crisp and the leaves were just beginning to turn autumn colours. We could look right across the water at Toronto and it looked gorgeous from there. The whole place was quite unique - some people still reside there after a fight with the powers that be and have leases to remain there - at least for the time being.

We got the ferry back to Toronto and walked down to the Distillery District and had some amazing food and an even more amazing desserts at Mills St Brewery. This chocolate concoction cannot be excelled!!

After dinner off to Snakes and Lattes - a coffee house where they have heaps of board games - everything you could imagine . Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Lejla for the best day!!

4 October - Started out for Montreal but never made it due to lots of road works and 85 million trucks!!

We had the opportunity to call into Bowmanville and catch up with one of my Pogo internet friends - Terry Fice. Had some coffee and a chat - was disappointed his sister Jo couldn't be there but she was incapacitated. Hope you get well soon Jo :)

Terry Fice - Ontario

We stayed the night at a RV site on lake Ontario called Rideau Acres - best sunset ever.
