Drive to Kitchener, Ontario.
Friday 23rd of August, day 103.
Shortly after 9am we were rolling along on Hwy 401 toward Toronto. Our destination was the Milton KOA, about 70 km west of Toronto.
On the 401 with Toronto in sight. |
The GPS comes in handy. |
Traffic is getting heavier. |
It was 10:30 by then, no snow storm or slippery roads, this must be regular traffic around this time. When we came closer to the airport, the connector lanes on our right were at a full stop.
We had decided that we would not drive all the way downtown Toronto. We had last visited this very interesting city a couple of years ago. It was great, but not with a car or a 5th wheel.
Anders did a great job driving through Toronto with all the traffic. By 11am we were in Milton / Campbellville KOA.
By the approach and the entrance to the RV park, we knew that it will not be a nice place. Everything looked neglected. Naturally it was also right on the 401, so the traffic noise was very annoying. But obviously there is no RV park or campground on Yonge and Bloor.
We set up camp and drove to Kitchener. I wanted to see and shop at their farmer's market. But it was closed, even though it was Friday? Downtown Kitchener looked bleak and deserted. Even the shopping center was empty.
By contrast, on the outskirts of Kitchener, with all the big box stores, it was humming. Costco here we come.
Tired we came back to our pull shack and made supper. More pictures here.
