Sault Ste. Marie

Just a quick update before we set out again.  Annette thinks the hotel in Thunder Bay was haunted so didn't get much of a sleep.  I was OK though!

We didn't go back to look at the falls outside Thunder Bay.  We decided 25km in the wrong direction just wasn't on.  Maybe next trip.

We set out in good time for Sault Ste. Marie and had a very pleasant drive along the shores of Lake Superior.  This was apart from a few foggy patches and a rather alarming incident when a car coming the other way wandered across the centre of the road just in front of us.  Got to see the whites of his eyes so he wasn't asleep!  Probably texting.  Most of the journey was out of cell phone coverage which made for a quiet day.  Good thing the speed limit was low and we were sticking to it or we might not have made the distance.  There are no refuelling stops on this road that are open at this time of year.

Due to last night's hotel fisaco we checked into the Delta in Sault Ste. Marie, only a little more expensive than the Super 8 and very comfortable.  Had a very pleasant dinner looking out over the water at the USA and a good night's sleep.

Fresh and relaxed, we are now going to head away from the great lakes towards Montreal.  Don't think we'll get that far today but we'll certainly get past Sudbury and maybe as far as Ottawa.  Who knows.
