So we drove into Waterloo planning to stay one night visiting with friends. They ended up graciously hosting us for three while the van was getting fixed. It was leaking coolant, and we did two false starts before we were able to leave. It was wonderful to have a place to stay while we were waiting for it to be fixed and I LOVE their new house.
When we finally did leave we decided to drive straight to Toronto, visit friends there and go to the Science Centre and ROM and then drive to Niagra Falls, and if we could get through again, drive the rest of the way home through the US.
That is pretty much what we ended up doing - we hit the ROM first and met up with Ailidh, Ryan and Gray. Monte had the camera while at the ROM so all photo credits there go to him. We did the Science Centre after, but it mainly consisted of the Harry Potter exhibit as we were all exhausted, and then we met back up with Ailidh and family for a late dinner, and then drove out of Toronto late that evening.
We ended up sleeping in a parking lot of a park just before Niagra, and then drove to the falls in the morning and did the crazyness that is NIagra Falls - it feels like an amusement park there, and then drove out in the afternoon. That night we slept at the Verona Beach State Park campground - super cheap it was only 2.95 a night and there were even showers!!
We are driving towards Maine/New Brunswick today, not sure how far we will get, but we have booked the ferry for Sunday evening at 7, so we should be home by Monday if all goes well :).
Oh, and we finally named the Van while in Waterloo - Bill-y Bob - the billy part is because of the numerous bills that we accrued whilst on this trip, and the Bob comes from Mayah and I can't remember why - lol.
