Breakfast was just as amazing. We had eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, juice and Finnish pancakes. If you have never had these (we had never had them) they are amazing. They are more like crepes, delicate, moist and delicious. Not heavy or glutinous like Aunt Jemima's. We left fuelled, literally, thanks to the seven cups of coffee that accompanied breakfast. Even still, we had to fill up our thermos before we left. We had a relatively short day and didn't feel the need the rush, thus our first break came midway between the treck from the house to our bikes.
Our second break came 1km later on the other side of the intersection. We were stopping to buy more food obviously. There, we met a couple more members of the cross Canada bike community, John and Joan from Victoria, who had apparently been riding with Reuban (our Kiwi connection) and Ryan (our Taiwanese tie) both of whom, as stated in previous entries, we've been travelling with on and off. It's beginning to feel like we are a part of a little cross Canada community.
Our third stop was the famous Kakabeka Falls along the Kam River.
They don't have Niagra's volume, but they are actually higher making them a pretty impressive sight, and a great spot for another coffee break. We found a new form of refuge in the dorms at Lakehead University where $30 gets you a familiar, worn, closet-sized room typical of any dorm. There is free very high speed internet, a kitchenette, laundry facilities that are 1/3 the price of those at UBC and there are no bugs so we are happy!
