Excited to reach Thunder Bay today. Thunder Bay! Even the name is full of drama. But first we filled up Swiss with petrol and ourselves with coffee in the little town of Marathon. These Ontarian resort towns are ever so pretty, and the light bouncing off the lake bathes everything in a seaside-y holiday glow. God knows what it's like in winter, though.

We visited Ouimet Canyon, a spectacular geological feature with its own micro-climate, where sub-arctic plants thrive.

We reached Thunder Bay in the early afternoon and had a quick look round, enjoying the waterfront park and also going for a walk on the lakeshore. We stayed in a lovely hostel that night.

Apparently this town used to be called Snickers!
