Driving

We have found out just how big Canada really is in the last week and a half. It turns out that just because something looks small on a map, it isn't necessarily that way in real life. We've been driving a lot, but we're seeing some beautiful places.

After crossing the plains, we have arrived at the Lake Superior region. Our drive from Thunder Bay towards Ottawa has meant that we are able to see the lake as we go - although not always as clearly as we'd hoped! It is truly enormous - all you can see is the horizon when you look across it!

We have seen some beautiful sunsets over the last few days, as shown in our piccies.

The highlight for both Dave and Mel in the last few days has definitely been our moose sightings. We've seen three, all by the side of the road, but haven't been able to take any pictures yet. Hopefully the Algonquin Provincial Park will give us an opportunity to photograph these amazing creatures. And also to say 'moose' again... Mel Mel likes that word. Other animals spotted include a bison, hummingbirds, porcupines and skunks (although we're yet to see a living version of these last two).
