FRIDAY 7TH - EN ROUTE TO OTTAWA


Pretty slow start this morning. We had not far to go and all day to get there. We are taking a circuitous route to Ottawa, partly because we can and partly because it has been recommended that the area known as Algonquin is very picturesque and well worth a visit. We will be driving through there tomorrow.

 
Tonight we are at what we thought would be a little town called Barrie but it is far from a little town. It is on Lake Simcoe, one of the many lakes in this area and, while the lakeside area is idyllic, the rest of it is very much developed and very busy, much like the Gold Coast. Hopefully the areas we explore tomorrow will be a little quieter.


While I am enjoying the ease of driving the car, particularly on the fast moving freeways, we are missing some of the benefits of the motorhome. We no longer carry our personal bathroom with us. If we want a cup of tea or coffee we have to buy it. When we stop for lunch, it has to be at a shop selling food that we like to eat. For dinner we have to eat out. Life's tough.
