As noted earlier, yesterday was a long hot drive,
particularly the last hour or so in rush hour traffic. Positive on the bus was
that I could pull the driver side curtain but the lack of the generator meant
engine driven A/C only…this kind of heat requires both roof top A/C to keep the
“Big Aluminum Box” comfortable. Alex had
it tougher with no shade and no good place to pull off to deal with it.
In the end the 200.8 mile day was just at the upper end of
the “Movin On” limit, but the slightly chilly pool was a welcome relief and now
we get to kick back and explore a city we’ve wanted to visit for a long time.
Big plus at the end of the day was Ty getting his favorite food, octopus, at
the “Mr. Greek” restaurant just down the road... and Grandy got some Retsina :)
Grandy’s back at the pool, caught in a downpour with the
kiddos so I’m adding to today’s update.
We had a slow morning today. Went
down to the campsite office to add a third night to our stay and move sites to
one with a more convenient hook up. The
kids are loving the train line running next to the campsite, complete with
double stacked container trains like on Ty’s favorite show, Extreme Trains.
We drove into Toronto today to get a feel for the city,
see some sites, and run some errands. We
will have to do the CN Tower another day since the visibility wouldn’t have
been good this morning. Ty is hoping for
a ride on the trolley system and we’re debating a trip to the Hockey Hall of
Fame. We enjoyed a trip round Saint
Lawrence Market. We found all sorts of
yummy treats from octopus at the fish monger (Ty asked if we could bring it
back to the RV for dinner,) to real English clotted cream, a stall selling
every type of meat from kangaroo to camel, and several interesting looking
cheese mongers. In the end we left with
only corn on the cob to cook for dinner, 2 bottles of Wayne Gretsky wines and
some spanakopita for lunch, but I could have happily spent hours there.
