Day 2 & 3

Here we are. 2 days later and already in Ontario. Our camp spot tonight is Kakabeka Falls, a place where you can find the most beautiful fall. Leo thinks these are the second best waterfalls, after Niagara Falls, that he has ever seen.

Day 2:

But first some more about yesterday. From Regina we left Highway 1 and travelled some scenic secondary roads. Saskatchewan is not flat, Erik. It has hills and valleys and lakes, and some flat parts,too. It is a pleasure to travel through, with lots of very nice scenery.

After driving 550 km we arrived at Portage la Prairie at the end of our second day of beautiful scenery and nice weather. We ended up in a campground where I got trapped inside my trailer while Leo went out to take some pictures of trains. The reason for my entrapment was the swarms of mosquitoes. We did not have enough hands, feet, fingers or toes to kill the beasts attacking us.

(Oh yes, Leo passed 1 truck, and 1 pick-up pulling a trailer on day 2.)

Day 3:

We got up early and were on the road at 5:30 Alberta time to escape the pesky creatures. Then we spent the next 100 km swatting the stinging pests in the car. They just were everywhere.

We drove through the Canadian Shield and we saw millions of flowers along the road.
After 770 km of Manitoba and Ontario we arrived at Kakabeka Falls, our destination for today. Tomorrow we will travel more of Ontario.

(And not to forget, in the 770 km of driving today Leo passed 2 trucks, 1 van and 1 car, which is passing roughly 1 vehicle every 200 km!)
