Day 20: Day off, hahaha


Yes another one but why the hell not. As we planned to go to the museum today we didn't get up until 8.00am as the museum doesn't open till 9.00am. By the time we had everything gathered together it was about 10.00am. Propane was needed so we went to Canadian Tire to buy some which was no bother until we stepped outside of the shop and Agnes' front tire suddenly popped. That is puncture number 4 for Agnes. The sun was already beating down so we pushed the bikes to the other side of town to find some shade outside the tourist information centre. By the time Agnes had fixed it and we had been to a shop to get the correct air pressure put into the tire it was lunch time. We went to a tea shop for sandwiches and cake and as the day was getting later and hotter we thought what the hey another day off it is.
We booked back into the campsite and headed off to the museum. We left our bikes at the campsite and decided to hitch a ride to the museum as it was 6km out of town. We walked 2km and then a family who were on there way to the museum picked us up, result. The museum was great, one of the best museums I think I have been to. I have plenty of pictures which i will put on when we finally get to a internet cafe or library that will allow us to upload pictures. We managed to hitch a ride back to the campsite as a family driving by recognised us from the site, bonus. After that we hit the municipal outdoor pool that a lot of Canadian towns have. Wasn't as refreshing as a cold lake but it did the trick.
I'm very happy we have gone from rain everyday to boiling hot sunshine. My farmers tan is coming on a treat now.
