Splish Splash

We almost wimped out completely and booked into the Crowne Plaza for a second night but our pioneer spirit got the better of us (or was it our sense of fiscal responsibility?) and on Friday we headed up the road to the ADK Wilderness Campground at the foot of Mt Marcy.

Unfortunately the campground is hugely popular and our site was booked for Saturday night so we lifted the tent further down the trail into the forest (no camping out of the car here) to a so-called "lean too" which is the sort of structure that Rambo might use a base camp. Adam was delighted by the prospect of a new adventure while Soph kept asking "when can we go to a hotel?" Shaz and I were delighted by the prospect of a dry night.

After a paddle on Heart Lake and a swim, we had a quick lunch in Lake Placid and motored North into Quebec, stopping en route to watch the second half of the Spain vs Italy game.

We arrived in Montreal on Sunday night and have checked into the Meridien Hotel so Soph is content.

Montreal seems very different from anywhere else we have been. We are a bit confused by the juxtaposition of US-Canadian culture with French-European vibe. It's fun!!

Off for coffee and pastries and a bit of culture.
