First day on the road

Easy 50 klm drive to Prescott on the St. Lawrence, parked up at Grenville Park overlooking the river and the bridge to New York State.

 On arrival we had our introduction to the northern shadfly, clouds of them, over everything including us.

 After fighting our way through the clouds back to the trailer we googled flies etc. to find out all about them, seams they are a good sign all is well with the environment of the area.

 Looking across the river to the American side

 Canada Goose family going for an afternoon swim.                                                                                         

Today we are going to visit Upper Canada Village, a recreation of a pioneer settlement circa 1850 should be fun, tell you all about it tomorrow.

last day in Ottawa

Our last day at this camping in Ottawa tomorrow we move on down to the St. Lawrence Seaway.

 Funny little grill but it cooked these steaks really well not a Weber and the chef is not in the same league as George "the weber Q man of blogland" but Ruth was happy and thats the main thing.

 Ruths traveling herb garden

Living in the trailer at last

We are now living in our fifthwheel picked it up late Monday afternoon drove it a few kilometers to Sleepy Cedars Camping in Manotick and have spent the last 4 days getting used to how it all works. A lot more room than we had in the Hymer back in France. One or two little problems sticky slide and water heater switching off and things but all solved now thanks to PM and Pete from RV Canada.

First meal, the French called this a assiette anglaise my Mum called in Spam salad. ( grew up just after the war)
