km today: a few around town
total km: pretty much the same
Thunder Bay is a great place for us to have a day off and get all of our errands done. They have everything we need. The city itself is a sprawling mass due to the fact that it is really two cities merged together linked by suburbia. This makes walking anywhere nearly impossible and biking anywhere just difficult enough a to keep us focused on necessary errands.
Amidst our chores we stumbled upon yet another cross Canada cycling duo. Kelly and Andrea had started in Halifax and were heading back to their hometown of Campbell River! What are the chances?
We did discover why pancakes are served in the Finnish style. Thunder Bay is home to the largest Finnish population outside of Helsinki. There is even a little Finland. Taking in the food at a well reputed Finnish restaurant was todays only distraction. We dined at the 88 year old Hoitos, which came about to provide the Finnish bushman with hefty portions of affordable homecooked food. The tradition is kept alive to this day, which makes it a perfect spot for two hungry bikers. The five dollar rye cold smoked salmon sandwich was a treat.
