Ottawa to Toronto

Heres a little piece of advise from one who knows:

When in Switzerland, stay in a "Swiss" guest house.
When in Canada stay in a "Canadian" guest house..

DON`T when in Canada, stay in a Swiss guest house..... "Breaukfust ees inclooded" said our too happy by half hostess as she gave us the key to gingham hell, and to think we believed her!!! ...Ha! the laugh`s on us I`m afraid.. we stumbled into the breakfast room and were told to help ourselves from the "bar" in the corner.. it was a bloody shelf with some cold scrambled eggs, a packet of cornflakes (no milk) some muesli and a loaf of bread that we were supposed to cut and put in the toaster ourselves... now with the country that invented great service and better breakfasts being just 3 feet away across the border wouldn`t you think the cowardly Swiss would have learned -something- by now?? nope, fraid not.. ...rant over.(for now)

So after we`d left neutral Switzerland we returned to the Canadian mainland and met up with the divine Janis, she took us on a tour of Ottawa ..through the eyes of a teenage alcoholic shopping freak with tattoos to go.. ..only kidding, Janis took us all over, stop ping at pertinent locations to ask innocently "You gonna get a tattoo?" ...we declined politely.

She did however manage to persuade us to eat Beaver Tails.. now considering she wouldn`t tell us what they were I call that brave! ...heck, they coulda been beef jerky.. (See for all the good food, you guys do have some wacky stuff..)
Between English style pubs and teen hang-outs we had a photo op. with a group of "Big People" 10ft high bulky statues make of wood, Craig would have loved `em...

By this time it was about 2pm and time for us to head off towards Niagra.. we bade fare well to Janis and got on the highway.. the slowest bloody road in the world.. 7 hours later and we were only at Toronto and all we had to show for the previous 7 hours was a sighting of the worlds largest Apple... another Craig type thing.

By the time we`d gotten to Toronto I`d been driving directly into the sun for at least 5 hours and my eyes hurt.. we stopped at the Travel-lodge and will hit Niagra falls first thing in the morning..

...I hope you lot appreciate the trouble I had to go through to post this message.. suffice to say when I log off I`ll have to rebuild the motels phone outlet using nail scissors and some elastoplast...

Back to intro..
Onward ..tomorrow is another day!
