Day 50 Mon-Car, Streets and Washing!

We actually managed a bit of a sleep in this morning..,John had to have the car in for a service a to redo the Lease agreement for the next 22 days …..We have clocked up 13,000ks so far 😳😳😳🤪🤪🤪!
I spent the morning cleaning emails up which was fine until I got to my account with our ear 5,090 normal emails, 3,000 promotional emails plus, spam, deleted and th social ones… REDICULOUS…. That I let them get many….
John came back earlier than I thought I had only got to sort out not even half our email bottleneck…. He was ready for a coffee…so I put it all away knowing that an opportunity like today won’t happen again before home…off we set for me to take some pics and find a coffee shop….
Both were achieved…I didn’t get to see as many sights as I hoped…if we didn’t have our coffee soon it would be lunch time….

Many of the shops around Kitchener including the huge building with walkways up above the streets were none existent …nothing was in any shop on the area near our hotel or across the walk way…we thought it was from Covid..but Tim told us it was like this from when they first come…only 2 shops were open a takeaway and a government office…very strange this is a well written millions of dollars to have been built and to be a white elephant is very strange…

After a few pics of the buildings around the city centre we found a coffee shop…much to John’s delight it was a Vegan one…🤪😂😂! It was fine even his muffin tasted ok….

Back to the room where we spent the next 4 hours trying to find affordable accommodation for the next stage of our trip…it honestly was doing our hands in…we had left over brekky from yesterday for lunch…John wasn’t impressed but surprised it tasted ok after all…still finding accommodation in the budget with our requirements of Wifi, free parking, some sort of device to make coffee…a microwave, if possible and definitely a fridge…the microwave was a usual…a coffee something maker 😩😩😩 not always and a fridge… well that’s an ongoing saga…

We contacted Tim and they were a lot better so we decided to head over to see them both and of course Phoenix since he had been in doggy care fir the last 3 weeks…Tim spent hours trying to groom the dreadlocks out of his hair…plus he lost weight and was a bit sad…poor little fella…

While at Tim and Jess’s they wanted to know why we had thought our washing..it was over a week since we washed last and really needed it done…but didn’t want to just rock up and do washing after hardly seeing them…anyway they insisted so we drive back to our hotel to get it all…thank goodness only had a couple of days of undies left….

Phoenix and I spent a relaxing time if their back deck…well I did he chased squirrels 🐿 constantly….not sure what pleasure he will have chasing at home…honestly these little guys are everywhere in Kitchener….we drive 1,000’s of Ks to hardly see an animal…yet here these little guys are darting left right and centre…and cute as too…

Washing done, time spent with T&J and dinner had tighter…back to lack our gear and get our bits ready for the next part of our trip…Read more
