me driving after seeing the bearMonday 1st June
Well today we set off with about 800 kms to go until we got to Toronto. We thought we might drive to within 100ks or so and stop the night and drive in the last bit the next morning. The speed limit this time was not too bad, it was at least 100 km/h. The weather was crap though, it rained the whole time we drove. The scenery was nice though as the trees and bushes had changed from what we had been seeing in USA.
All of a sudden while driving I could see something moving ahead on the road in the distance that was black. As we got a bit closer I could see that it was a bear walking across the road!! Bronte quickly got the camera out but not quick enough. The bear walked over the road and on to the other side. By the time we got out the camera we just managed the blurry shot above. We turned around and went back but he was gone. Makes for a change looking out for kangaroos!!
We had a bit of trouble getting reasonably priced accommodation at Parry Sound so we ended up at a place called Barrie a bit closer to Toronto. Booked the motel on the net and rocked up 15 minutes later. The place was really nice and new as well. This place also had a microwave and fridge, so we cooked frozen dinners again. Watched a bit of TV as we were fairy tired from the long drive. Will be heading to the CN Tower tomorrow. We also managed to book really good cheap accommodation in Toronto for $53 a night. The going price of the room normally is $169, so let’s see how good it is when we get there.

Hey,
That is so exciting you got to see a bear walking across the road. It is something different to the roos...you will have to make sure the camera is in easy to get to place in case you see another one. Have a great time in Canada.

If you saw someone stop to take a photo of a kangaroo you'd think they were a tosser? Lol!
