Goodbye Ontario.

September 23rd, 2007 :

Another early start from Dryden, usual cat struggling and then about an hour into the journey we crossed the border into Manitoba, a province that we would drive through on our trek to Regina, in Saskachewan.

Around 10.00m am we pulled into a small place that was supposed to have a gas station, but there was nothing but crickets chirping, a small detour and we suddenly thought we would have a fuel problem.

The drive across the prairies was a non event, very long, very straight and we shared the driving. The cats, because of the extremely flat and monotonous drive, behaved themselves very well.

Arriving in Regina, we had an upstairs room that was a suite, very nice. We carried the cats upstairs, walked to the off sales of the pub and then realised that we did not want to pay 40 bucks for a bottle of wine. A short drive and we found a liquor store and stocked up for the night.

A visit to the Creekside Brew Pub, a few healthy micro brews and a massive, loaded, nacho's and we were ready for sleep once more, a better day on the road for sure and we were halfway there.
