Day 44 Tues- Short one today very tired!

Up early and said blow it need longer… We are meeting Tim and Jess for Brekky….was supposed to be a place called Poppies but it would seem they don’t open until late so to their fancy hotel,we headed to meet them at the Forks in Winnipeg…

Far too much for Brekky only ate 1/4 of what I had…waste of money…but hey Tim paid for this one….bonus….😁 !

Then off we took…to be honest a pretty boring trip…back along much of the Hwy we had been before… the lakes are making a come back…and of course the huge pine forests….

Morning tea was at Falcone Beach …the Bakery/Brewery was not the best… coffee was yuk…John bought Carrot cake.., I bought a strawberry and cream puff pastry thing that was just soooo sweet I had to give it to John… so I nicked over to the supermarket and got a ham, cheese and lettuce sandwich….sadly the bread was very stale and yep it did my poor old gut in… so buscapan to the rescue…. Bloody food is either my joy or my enemy…. And you really can’t tell unto, you have it…

Lunch stop was at Nestor Falls right in Indian Reservation Territory…..We pulled up for lunch later than usual…to The Bear Restaurant and supermarket…We sat down gave our order…the young lady serving us was very cheery and helpful…a few of the locals came in and out to get takeaways… we waited and waited another couple who were locals came in and ordered after us… we didn’t notice that a much older man sitting at the end of the diner style set up…we didn’t really take that much notice of him, but notice him go…..The young girl came out to us and the other couple that the man had just paid for ours and the other couples lunch..,,Whaaattt, really… felt really humbled…The meal itself was pretty crap,.,but the service was great…so we left a tip for the lovely waitress… you just never know when the Lord will bless you and today even John felt His blessings above and beyond……
We stopped at actual Nestor Falls which John didn’t think would be a real thing… he thought it was just a name……they are real, but now have a weir above them… we stopped there to see the falls and how the fishermen head out from the jetty set up near by….…and the whole area looked very newly done up….with new seating, gardens, paths and handmade wooden pictures of the animals of the area….

The lakes big and small kept appearing as we keep zipping by in the ute…lots of roadworks to slow the trip down…No animals to see bar a few dead ones…

Arrived 7hrs later…the days are getting longer as we get tireder…..not as many ks done today but still a long day….

Our room is supposed to have river views and yes it does, but the room is side on not front on to the facing river and US land on the opposite shore line….sadly our beds don’t face the water views, so you need to go outside to get a true view…still it’s very relaxing looking across at the US from Fort Frances to Grand Falls on the opposite side….we are staying 2 nights here to just stop for a day and rest up…the pace has been pretty hectic so to stop and smell the roses 🌹 so to speak will be great….Læs mere
