Day 5
Barrie & Tanger Outlet
April 27, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Bevor es zurückgeht, besuchen wir noch das kleine Städtchen Barrie. Ein riesiger Traumfänger steht am Hafen der Stadt. Peters Spürnase ist wieder aktiv und er führt uns ins Flying Monkeys - einer Szenebar, die dort ihre eigenen Getränkemischungen kreieren. Im Keller gibt es sogar ein eigenes Labor. Wenn man seine Bestellung aufgeben will, einfach den Lichtschalter anschalten und schon geht in der Bar die Lampe an und man wird bedient. Ein echtes Highlight sind auch die Toiletten - wahrscheinlich weil man dort nach dem Getränkegenuss die meiste Zeit beim pinkeln verbringt 🤭!
Da noch ein Outlet auf dem Weg liegt, schlendern wir auch da mal rein. Aber von der Zeit als alles in Amerika/Kanada noch günstiger war als bei uns, sind wir aktuell weit entfernt. Und so gucken wir nur und legen dann die letzten KM zurück. Im Hotel angekommen sind auf einmal alle im Eishockey-Fieber. Auch wir schauen und das Spiel noch im Hotel an. Die Maple Leafs haben allerdings leider trotzdem verloren.Read more

Orillia

This charming little gem was a fun place to visit. The downtown Main Street has so many neat shops. We enjoyed exploring Mariposa Market which is four shops in one. Their items ranged from delicious baked goods to fudge.

The marina was very nice and we met with a bunch of other Loopers. Right outside the marina was a nice boardwalk leading us to a playground and beach.

Art was also everywhere. The lampposts had guitars decorating them while other pieces sprouted around the streets.Read more

Day 27
First day of Axsium camp
September 19, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Ok so I am officially back at work but not working 😁
Up at 6am breakfast, a goodbye to Stella and into a car with 2 colleagues, Joe and Camilo for a 2 hour journey down to Fern Gully resort. Was a great trip we laughed a lot, stopped for coffee then again for snacks before arriving at 10am.

Checked in, got my present back with my team t-shirt, yellow. Then into the main pavilion for a company overview.

They hired the Toronto comedy club who do improv comedy and I was well eager! They picked me first, gave me a 🎤 and told me to say the first thing that came into my head. They started easy with my name and how long I had worked for Axsium. Then they passed me an imaginary parcel which I had to open and explain what I had got... ‘a monkey’ I screamed. Then they asked who the card was from ‘Angelina Joly’. Then what the card said ‘I left Brad for you’ hahaha was a lot of fun!

The camp is gorgeous. Surrounded by lakes. Lots of games, paddle boats, canoes, ropes. My room is enormous!

At 5pm we broke for an hour before cocktails.

Cocktail hour and a walk around meet and greet bingo where you find people who have things or done things to tick off. Great way to interact. A couple of hours then it was time for Trivia. 6 rounds with our yellow team coming 4th in the end.

Played some darts with my car buddy Camilo then it was time for bed around 11:30pm.

Yay camp Axsium!Read more

Day 5
Von Niagara Falls nach Orillia
August 30, 2019 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Der Weg nach Orillia hat leider etwas länger gedauert. Wir mussten zuerst wieder den ganzen Weg zurück nach Toronto, um dann nach Norden zu fahren. Hier war leider megaviel Stau, so dass wir fast 4h für die 250 km gebraucht haben. Naja, ab morgen wird’s dann hoffentlich besser.
Der Ort Orillia ist auch nur was für die Durchreise. Er liegt zwar an einem See, aber das macht es nicht wirklich besser. Eigentlich sind wir ja beide der Meinung dass Wasser alles besser macht, aber hier passt das zumindest für mich nicht.
Naja, wir haben ein nettes Restaurant in Seenähe gefunden, wo es dann nach dem Frühstück die zweite Mahlzeit des Tages gab. Danach war dann der Ort auch für mich etwas erträglicher. Manchmal komm ich mir vor, als ob mich jemand beobachtet hat und darauf diese Snickers Werbung entstanden ist, wo die Leute immer ruhig und erträglich werden, wenn sie was gegessen haben.
Morgen früh versuchen wir mal unser Auto Camping-tauglich zu machen. Immer nur Motels ist auch nicht soooo toll. Mal schauen ob uns das gelingt. Wir sind aber guter Dinge 😃Read more

My team at Fern Resort

My favorite team: Tetres and Chaos as leaddogs and Vada and Thork as weeldogs. We went to Fern Resort every Saturday. Family can do some ice skating, snowshoeing, snowmobile driving and can book a sled dog tour with us. They gave us Fern Burgers for Lunch and sometimes a hot chocolate in the afternoon.Read more

Camping Koa Barrie
September 7, 2018 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Auf dem Weg nach Barrie könnten wir einen Blick auf ein Wasserflugzeug erhaschen. Leider konnten wir nicht näher heran, um es uns genauer anzuschauen. Die Bäume entlang der Straße nehmen langsam die Farbe des Indian Summer an und auch die Temperaturen in der Nacht fallen unter 10 Grad. Nach ca. 125 Kilometern sind wir dann auf unserem neuen Campingplatz angekommen. Nach einem entspannten Nachmittag bei 23 Grad am Pool (wir waren sogar drin) erkundeten wir noch den Rest des Campingplatzes und fanden einen See. Was eine Überraschung :pRead more

Day 7
Cruise of the Nile
February 26 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ -2 °C
Up super early today to get to the airport to fly to Luxor. There was not much traffic at 5, which made for a quick ride. Great flight, nice airport, and on the bus by 10 ish.
Our first stop was the Karnak Temple Complex. Incredible!! It was busy but not crazy. Mahal gets so excited to show us particular spots she tends to move fast. It was so amazing and so much to see... I wish we had the day ( and no problem walking 😢).
We went directly to the Luxor Temple and Courtyard, which is dedicated to the god Amun-Re. It is so amazing to walk among these gigantic columns and temples to the god... it is totally amazing that so many of the carvings even have colour still totally visible after all this time.
The 74 columbed Courtyard of Ramses II is actually the outer parts of the temple featuring colossal statues of himself.
Amenhotep's III's 14 columned Collonade (where I get to do Supernatural) was pretty impressive all on its own.
We did not walk the 2 mile long Avenue of Sphinxes, though I would have loved to.
While it's great having Mahal to give us all the information, I would love to have wondered on our own for a few minutes. She gave us half an hour which is what it took to get back to the bus.
We went next to Blue Shadow II riverboat, which is to be our "home" for the next week. It is nice and our room is quite cozy but has a huge beautiful window overlooking the river.
Lunch was good and we are now o the upper deck on deck chair soaking up some rays. Peter is sleeping and I am writing.
There is no light show for me tonight .... my leg is not happy (again), and I need to rest for Valley of the Kings and Queens tomorrow.Read more
