We managed to get everything in the car (just) and set off early yesterday morning. More than 12 hours later we have driven more than 1200km, crossed one time zone and stopped in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. Not much to say about this place. Just a small town on the trans Canada not far from Winnipeg.
We soon discovered why the people we bought the top box from we're selling it. In a crosswind it whistles horribly and yesterday we were battling a strong wind out of the north all day. At times it sounded like a jet taking off. As soon as we get home, that's going back on Kijiji.
Today we hope to get to Thunder Bay in time to have a look around. Sounds an interesting town. Last night we briefly considered pushing on to Thunder Bay and would have been there by now but it was a better idea to stop and rest. We don't have to rush after all.
The good news so far is our new Outback is more comfortable than the old one so a long day driving doesn't take so heavy a toll.
It's Annette's birthday today. Driving all day again is probably not top of her birthday wishes.
