Back to Canada (ON) – 18 August 18

Well, you certainly do not take a hotel for granted after sleeping in an RV for nearly four months.

The only mistake we made was not finding the blackout blind until 9 am this morning, which left us with a night of carpark lighting shining through our window.

Oh well, it still did not spoil our night of luxury.

Down to the hotel lobby for the complimentary breakfast and I even managed a half-hour at the hotel gym.

What were we thinking when we extended the RV for another three weeks after our intended drop off. We could have been sleeping in hotels, oh beautiful, glorious hotels…

Ok, enough of that, time to get back to RV and get back on the road.

And today we are driving back into Canada.

Even after a relaxing morning we still managed to depart by 10.15 am.

Out and around Detroit and then over the bridge and into Ontario, Canada.

And off the grid, as we will no longer have working internet devices and will be relying on the RV Parks…

Our scenery in Ontario was filled with corn, alfalfa fields, and wind farms.

A brief stop in Strathroy for a food shop and lunch where we discovered a slight motorhome issue.

Our water tank has broken out of the bracket (it was only ever held in with two nails).

We drove through the industrial area looking for an RV Repair shop, however, nothing was open.

Onto our destination for tonight, Golden Pond RV Resort in Mossley, Ontario.

A nice enough resort but in the middle of nowhere, and although advertised with ‘Hi-speed wireless internet connection available’ we are left with no working internet, no means of research. We are slaves to the internet.

Plus, the owners and fellow campers are not really forthcoming with any help regarding our water tank issue.

At this rate, I am not sure how long our Canadian exploration will last.

Internet up and working, goody, but how long will it last…

Washing is done.

Observation: I have now seen it all, although elderly (not really an excuse unless she is disabled and I doubt that), a lady walking her small dog from her golf cart. The Canadians LOVE their golf carts. At this RV Park, walking is optional…

A casual BBQ for dinner and then an evening of playing outdoors for the boys and listening to the campground band.
