Unfortunately it is time to leave. Our destination today is Niagara Falls. Brian and Laurel were already awake as we slipped into the house. The smell of fresh baking welcomed us. Laurel enjoys cooking and she handed me a plate with sliced banana bread, saying, “Here you go, have some Nanaimo Bars!, (wink, wink.)”. Sorry, Laurel that is banana bread. It was delicious. We sat around telling tales and then it was time to leave. We gave them some Nanaimo memorabilia and pins, as well as an official recipe for Nanaimo Bars. Debbie gave Laurel an appreciation gift of a handmade patry rolling pin. She loved it. For the short time that we had known them it was amazing how relaxed they were with us, the fuggees. We laughed some more and said our goodbyes.
We headed out and again winding our way towards Niagara Falls, taking county roads and secondary highways. As we neared Niagara Falls the landscape changed from country farms to commercial and industrial, and busy streets and highways. We had reserved a commercial KOA campground near the Falls. As we entered the campground it was evident that we were deep in the heart of tourist country. Huge motorhomes and fifth wheel trailers dwarfed our tiny trailer. The KOA is very large, with hundreds of closely placed campsites, three swimming pools, cabins and washroom/shower facilities. We chose this campground as it is a short shuttle bus ride to the Falls. We bought two daily passes for the Falls and attractions as well as bus passes.
We were too late to go to the Falls so I barbequed a fine steak and we watched a movie and went to bed.
