Yesterday afternoon we crossed the border into Canada!
We spent another night in the Walmart, assisstant manager
Ed hooked us back up to their electricity when the manager
left at 11pm. Amazing.
The border crossing was simple, they didn't even search the
RV and they gave us 6 months, which I guess kind of made us
wonder why the hell we were planning on heading back into
America after a week.
We parked up just across the border to take some pictures of
Niagara Falls minus a snow blizzard. The sky was a bit bluer
and the view was tonnes better from this side. I bet America
is kinda peeved about that.
I figured the Canada side would be generally nicer and less
commercial. It isn't at all, the whole area is dedicated to tourism.
We decided to push on for Toronto, figuring the quicker we got
there the better.
We pulled into a Walmart pretty much right in the center of
Toronto off Bloor St West. I didn't enjoy driving through Toronto
at all, and by the time we pulled into Walmart I was adamant I
wasn't doing another mile in that beast til morning.
Of course, there were big fat signs warning us overnight parking
was not allowed and violators would be towed. Urgh. So I drove
another mile in the beast and we parked up on a busy street, and
headed across the road for Vietnamese food. We got a pretty crap
nights sleep, punctuated by alcohol fueled knock-a-motorhome-door
run and the vibrations of the streetcars rattling by.
Our plan for today was to meet up with Dave, perhaps collect
our paperwork and explore Toronto. However, Will is super
poorly today. We're blaming the Vietnamese food, although I
feel okay. We haven't been able to do much of anything today
other than charge our laptops up in a cafe, and make Will watch
me eat yummy Thai food. Stupid Toronto.
