B - reporting
We were up very early, though not before the first mozzies. Everything packed, we headed into town for breakfast and some wi fi, and also to get Swiss's tires realigned. We were very impressed with ourselves when all these things were done by 9:05am!
So we drove off to Manitoba but before crossing the border we made a quick stop in pretty little Kenora for a much-needed visit to a laundrette*. Luckily we found an industrial-sized machine and stuffed pretty much all our clothes into it. We walked round the town while the clothes were spinning. Kenora is very much a holiday town, but in the morning sunshine was very pretty with lots of funky and outdoorsy shops.
All clean, and stocked up with beer and other food, we headed on West. It became rather cloudy and just as we crossed into Manitoba a thunderstorm rumbled and cracked overhead.** We were soon at Falcon Lake, our camp for the night in a pretty provincial park. Another storm hit, but we had G's patented tarp/tent covering so remained dry and happy. The storm blew over very quickly and we had a quick walk to the beach before turning in for the night.
* laundromat, if you will
** as if God was regretting the strong vindaloo He'd consumed the night before.
